PLEASE HURRY Suppose that you are a scientist who studies climate changes. While examining the rings of tree trunks, you notice several very large tree rings. What can you conclude about the climate during those years?

The climate was wet and cold

Explanation:

Tree growth can be affected by climatic cycles and seasonal cycles. The width of a tree ring shows the amount of growth that has taken place during one year and thus indicates the growing conditions for that year. When the conditions are good the tree grows faster and so lays down more tissue in the year, resulting in a wider growth ring. Poor conditions mean slower growth, less tissue laid down and consequently a narrower ring. At locations where tree growth is limited by water availability, trees will produce wider rings during wet and cool years, than during hot and dry years. Drought or a severe winter can cause narrower rings too. If the rings are a consistent width throughout the tree, the climate was the same year after year.
