how does a tree grow?

Trees grow b/c of something inside it called the apical meristem. Hormones released here cause it to grow.\n\nTrees grow from the top. The bottom of the tree does not grow upwards. It stays in the same place. The tree gets wider & grows from the tips outward & upward.\n\nI have found a really good in depth resource for you to use. It has lots of nice diagrams as well.

Tree: God created the plants & trees.  The seeds happened later to propogate the foliage.

As a plant grows up ward it bears leaves on the sides of the upright stem.In the axile of every leaf( the point where the leaf stalk is attached to  the stem.), there is an axillary bud.This bud IS THE STARTING POINT OF A NEW BRANCH.\nAs long as the main stem continues to grow actively these axillary bud are dormant.But when the main stem stops growing or becomes slow in its growth, the axillary buds are activated by certain growth hormones that are produced naturally in the pant and the meristem tissue(embryonic or formative tissue) inside the buds begin to multiply and gradually begins to develop in to a side branch. It may be an ordinary vegetative branch like the main stem itself or a flowering branch.It depends upon the season,the age of the plant and the type of the hormone.\nIn Nutshell: In plants the branches develop from the meristem tissue.They are present in the buds and activated by hormones.\nFor more than this get hold of a proper botany book ( anatomy book) and study yourself.

I have no idea hwre Govi is gettinghis ideas from.\n\nThe real answer depends on the species of tree and the conditions it is growing under. \n\nThe water will move most rapidly when transpiration is highest, which means moist soil, moderate winds and moderately high temperatures.\n\nTree species with wide vessels can have a peak sap velcoity of 45 m/hr, while trees with small vessels may have peak vecolcities of as little  as 1m/hr.\n\nSo if we take the world's tallest hardwood (150m) as our example and allow that eucalypts have moderately large vessels we would expect water to move from the roots to the top of the crown in around 5 hours under ideal conditions. Under more normal conditions we might expect  it to take 12 hours.\n\nIf we look at something like a 30m oak tree growing in more temperate conditions we would expect a flow rate approaching 40m/hr at midday in midsummer. That means that the water would be moving from the roots to the uppermost leaves in less than an hour. Even under less than ideal circumstances the water would be moving that distance in well under 5 hours.

It depends totally on the type of tree, outside temperature, humidity, etc.

Some plants adapt to a crowded environment by changing their growth characteristics.  Many plants can sense crowding by the lack of an ability to spread their roots very far.  Some plants will start to change in what I consider to be an impressive display of "The Survival of the Fittest."  A short, bushy plant can start growing thinner and taller to fight out its neighbors for sunlight.  This can be common on forest floors (and even in the potted plant on my windowsill! It started growing upwards instead of outwards when it outgrew its pot. It must have thought it needed to start competing for light).

Absorbed from the ground into the roots of the tree-transported up the tree by capillary action all the way to the leaf- Absorbed into one of the cells on the surface of the leaf, where is travels to the surface of the leaf and evaporates, turning into a gas.  Moves about the atmosphere until it gathers with many other water gas molecules in a cloud-then at some point coalesces with other water molecules forming a liquid again, which falls to the ground.

While it can grow on all sides of a tree, it is most commonly found on the north side of the tree in the northern hemisphere (and the south side in the southern hemisphere) because of a lack of sufficient water for reproduction on the sun-facing side of the tree. For this reason, when in a deep forest with little sunlight, it would be foolish to determine your direction based on moss growth.

3. secondary succession. \nthe undergrowth grow first before the canopy-forming trees take over again. i just had an exams with a question similar to this one. the situation was that the forest was cut clear of all its vegetation. and the answer was of course secondary.

many plants tend to be healtheir and grow faster and produce more using hydroponic means.\n\nHowever not all plants can be adapted to such means.\n\nSee the sources below for more information.

Tree-line or timberline is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. Beyond the tree-line, they are unable to grow due to inappropriate environmental conditions. There are several types:\n\nArctic tree-line The furthest north in the Northern Hemisphere that trees can grow; further north, it is too cold to sustain trees. \n\nAntarctic tree-line The furthest south in the Southern Hemisphere that trees can grow; further south, it is too cold to sustain trees. \n\nAlpine tree-line The highest elevation that trees can grow on mountains; higher up, it is too cold to sustain trees. \n\nExposure tree-line On coasts, and on isolated mountains, the tree-line is often much lower than in corresponding altitudes inland and in larger, more complex mountain systems, because high wind speeds adversely affect tree growth. \n\nDesert tree-line The driest places that trees can grow; drier desert areas having insufficient rainfall to sustain trees. \n\nWetland tree-line The wettest ground on the margins of muskegs and bogs that trees can grow in, below which the ground is too saturated with water, excluding oxygen from the soil that tree roots need to grow. \n\nHowever no such line exists for swamps, where trees, such as Bald cypress and the many mangrove species, are adapted to growing in permanently water-logged soil.

Why would earth be growing because of people and trees? Everything that life is made up of comes from earth and when we die goes back to it. Material is not born from thin air. All living things primarily are hydrocarbons.- we are made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, oxygen etc everything comes from the plants/animals we eat. Plants are made up of what they absorb from earth. A trees over the years through photosynthesis converts all the carbon dioxide it takes and water it absorbs into itself. It is made up of carbon and hydrogen and oxygen. That is why deforestation contributes to increasing levels of Carbon Dioxide. The carbon in the tree is released back into air when it dies. CO2 and H20 are gases and water but inside the tree they are solid Hydrocarbons. The minerals that the plants take make up some of their body. Our bones are made up of calcium which comes from milk which comes from plants that cows eat and plants get them from earth's soil.\n\nNothing we are made up of is born out of nothing, everything is from the earth. Earth's diameter might be growing because of meteors or comets but not because of us. In fact I doubt meteors etc that bump into earth contribute much to earth's mass and I am sure a something is lost into space by earth as maybe, dust.

jgardn said "The vertical growth of plants is actually stimulated by sunlight."\n\nThe vertical growth of plants is due entirely to the effects of gravity. You can demonstrate this yourself in a number of ways. The simplest is just to take some bean seeds and germinate them in the dark. No matter how often you turn them they will always turn upwards, depsite having no light at all. You can then place the seedlings in a box with alight source beneath them or beside them. Athough the seedlings will grow somwhat towards the light they will continue to grow primarily upwards.\n\n\nPlants will grow towards light, but that is not what determines vertical growth.

None.It grows that way.On trees of course.lol

The sky is beautiful, but clouds are just water vapors. How does a tree grow? Photosynthesis. Knowing how something occurs does make it less beautiful does it?
