Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The rings show the layers of growth of each year the tree has lived. Each pair of light and dark rings marks one year of the tree’s life. Thicker rings indicate a longer or faster growing season. This means that the temperature was high for a longer time and allowed the tree to grow more.
Detailed explanation-2: -Count the dark rings to calculate the age of the tree. Start in the middle of the stump or cross-section of wood and count the first dark ring you see. Continue counting outwards from the middle ring until you reach the last dark ring. The total number of dark rings represents the age of the tree in years.
