Trees grow rings because they get bigger every year. Imagine a tree like a cake, each year, it adds a new layer around the outside. In the spring, it grows soft green layers, and in the fall, it turns hard brown ones. That’s why you can see circles inside a tree when you cut it open!
Examples
- A baby tree has just one ring, it’s only one year old.
- An older tree might have dozens of rings, each telling a story about its life.
- If you look at the trunk of a very old tree, you can see hundreds of rings inside.
