Trees rings also speak of the weather changes that have occurred during the life

of a particular tree. In the season of good rainfall, the rings will be thick and

during draught, the growth is slowed down and the rings will be thinner. Trees

like the bristlecone pines, sequoias and redwoods of California are living records

of variations in climate for the last 9000 years! Studying the changes in the tree

ring patterns is a science called “dendrochronology”. It is the dating of climate

change in the past through study of tree rings to understand life in ancient times.
