Associate each word with a "root word" on the meaning of the word. Then go through the whole list and see if you can associate each term with the "root word" you chose. Then associate the "root word" with the rest of the meaning.\n\nFor example:\nIrony - The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning. \n\nI will choose the word "opposite" from the meaning, since it is the word that mostly characterize the word "irony"\n\nHence, I will study: "Irony - Opposite"\n\nThen, once I am good at associating each of the words I need to study, I add the rest of the meaning. Mostly, if you remember the associated word, it will give you hints on the rest of the meaning.

You have to remember plants did not cause the atmosphere to become oxygenic in the primordial days, cyanobacteria did. I'm guessing there are probably trillions of trees in the world.

I've answered this question several times before (when you enter a question, Yahoo! directs you to a list of similar questions already answered).\n\nIt is a common misconception that, if a tree falls, it has to make a sound, regardless of whether or not something is around to hear it. The misconception is between the words "sound" and "vibration."\n\nWhen a tree falls, it vibrates the earth and the air around it. Sound, a sense, is how most animals interpret those vibrations at specific frequencies (Anywhere from 20-20,000Hz for humans). Unless something is around to interpret the vibrations caused by the tree's fall, it is not heard and cannot produce a "sound."

The word dogwood is not exactly an appealing name for such a lovely tree. Just how did the plant get is name? There are many stories. In Europe, the bark from a dogwood species was used to make a treatment for mange. Perhaps, the name came from dagwood -- dag being an old name for a meat skewer. From the colonist viewpoint, may have comes the name dog tree - bearer of worthless little fruit refereed to as dog berries.

History\nThe Christmas tree is often explained as a Christianization of the ancient pagan idea that the evergreen tree represents a celebration of the renewal of life. In Roman mosaics from what is today Tunisia, showing the mythic triumphant return from India of the Greek god of wine and male fertility, Dionysus (dubbed by some modern scholars as a life-death-rebirth deity), the god carries a tapering coniferous tree. Medieval legends, nevertheless, tended to concentrate more on the miraculous "flowering" of trees at Christmastime. A branch of flowering Glastonbury thorn is still sent annually for the Queen's Christmas table in the United Kingdom.\n\n \nTaiwanese aboriginals, tutored by Christian missionaries, celebrate with trees (Cunninghamia lanceolata) outside their homes.Among early Germanic tribes the Yule tradition was celebrated by sacrificing male animals, and slaves, by suspending them on the branches of trees. According to Adam of Bremen, in Scandinavia the pagan kings sacrificed nine males of each species at the sacred groves every ninth year. According to one legend, Saint Boniface attempted to introduce the idea of trinity to the pagan tribes using the cone-shaped evergreen trees because of their triangular appearance.

Some woods spark because they have other components in them.  Its not natural of course, but things get put in the wood by birds or bugs, as well as the components of the earth the tree grows in.

there are two supposed origins - \n1. is from the word nut, meaning hard seed, which is called "hnutu" in Old English or "*khnut" in Proto-Germanic\n\n2. from earlier be nutts upon "be very fond of" (1785), which is possibly from nuts (noun, plural) "any source of pleasure" (1617), from nut (described above). Sense influenced probably by metaphoric application of nut to "head" (1846, e.g. to be off one's nut "be insane," 1860). Nut "crazy person, crank" is attested from 1903, (British form nutter first attested 1958).
