Question

Trees at sea do not have annual rings because

• A. Soil is sandy
• B. There is no marked climatic variation
• C. There is enough moisture in the atmosphere
• D. There is climatic variation

Answer 1

The correct option is B There is no marked climatic variation

Annual ring is a ring in the cross section of the stem or root of a temperate woody plant, produced by one year's growth. Trees at sea do not have annual rings because there is no distinct climatic changes. In climates with well-marked alternations of seasons (either cold and warm or wet and dry), the wood cells produced when water is easily available and growth is rapid (generally corresponding to the spring or wet season) are often noticeably larger and have thinner walls than those produced later in the season when the supply of water has diminished and growth is slower.
