If all of the Leaves have fallen, then why isn't the next season called Fell?

Autumn is actually the more common name for this season worldwide, and comes from a french word, which derives from a Latin word, and that apparently from an Etruscan word. \n\nFall is more common in North American English now, although it used to be more common in general English. It comes from a shortening of the expressions "fall of the year" and  "fall of the leaf", as one might expect.\n\nWinter comes originally from Scanadanavian words for the season, and possibly is connected to the words for "water" and "white". \n\nSpring is a shortening of the expression "spring of the leaf" to describe the season a few hundred years ago. Before that, in English it was called Lent. \n\nSummer probably originally comes from the Sanskrit word for half year.

it wouldn't exsist, we need the change in weather for everything to function the way it does.  If we could live with just one season, I would love to have summer all the time

There was no final season. That;s the hook! They want you to keep waiting.

It is fall, any leaves should have fall off by now anyways. Do not worry about it until spring, on the upside, if you have a decent tree, you will always have flowers to give to your mom!

Don't you believe the season should start first?

Of course, many trees shed their leaves in the fall and winter, but the tree is still living....

Yes the forests are disappearing but little is being done to address this issue. Lumber companies in all provinces are supposed to put money into reforestation and the companies are falling short. Government talks a big talk but over the last 25 years have cut funding drastically in this area.Trees do more than help clean the air. They support wildlife and prevent soil erosion and so on. Species  of wildlife will be extinct if something is not done and fast. Where is the governments new environment act..........Oh yeah, that was a lie too. If we all planted one tree a year it would be like a hug to the earth.

The best season during the year has been proven to be spring because it has all seasons mixed into one. Early spring it still snows. Mid spring leaves are still falling. Late spring leaves start to return and tornado season starts. So there you have it.

I would think because the forest canopy shelters the ground from rainfall/snowfall and therefore less erosion takes place down below. I actually just read something very interesting about this: In the Redwood Forest there are parts where the forest canopy actually is dense enough that it creates a whole new "ground" hundreds of feet above the ground. There are even more trees that are growing out of it, as well as plants and animals that are normally found on the actual forest floor!\n\nPS- I'm assuming you mean "watershed" as a ridge of high land dividing two areas that are drained by different river systems.

I think I have answered this queston 3 times here, but don't have the darn link for you.  The producer "cannot decide" whether he wants to do a Fall series....gotta be on crack.  What is there to decide?  I love that show!

New buds push off old leaves and new buds begin forming in the fall.  Some species have big buds and others smaller buds.  All buds begin to swell in the spring just before the buds begin bursting, which pushes off any remaining leaves still attached.\n\nWith some species (maple and beech and surely others), the new bud developed in the fall simply doesn't push the leaves off until they begin swelling in the spring.\n\nThere is a term for this, but I don't remember it.

I believe it has to do when solstice falls.  Not exactly sure though.  Good question.

it happens when the water says down in the roots in the fall.... water is the food for the leaves.... easier to say then that it's loss of chlorophyll

A like to go for a drive to see the Fall coulors, I am in Idaho Falls USA.\n\nlt is the season before winter.\n\nFall is also known as Autumn. It is call fall because of the natural event that occures during this season some tree in certain areas and most tree in some area slowly chane colour from green to Yellow or Red or Purple or mixed colours.  \n\nWhen certain tree loose their leaves completely. Before loosing them lots of tree acquire very bright colour, people take time off to enjoy natures art work on the land scape it is a sight to behold, in many parts of the world.\n\nIn some Indian languages it will be PanKh-rd RooToo(Gujarati). In Gujarati language, six seasons are accounted for, in USA, Europe, Australia they have four seasons, Summer, Fall or Autumn, Winter and Spring in this order. \n\nIt starts in the northern Hemisphere early in August, way up north(Alaska) and if you are in Texas you can experience it in late November or early December as you go south fall is very short and it is not very distinct..\n\nIn Bombay India it is hardly experienced as the new leaves bust out very fast but you can see lots of leaves falling and leaves all over the place the order is also different Winter comes first and the fall the spring.......
