Which of the following changes in deciduous forests occurs in the spring?
a.
trees regain their leaves.
b.
trees block the flow of water and nutrients to their leaves.
c.
the leaves of trees begin to lose their chlorophyll.
d.
trees live off of stored nutrients.

a. Trees regain their leaves.

In winters the trees looses their leaves because of limited availability of sunlight in cooler temperature, they also block the supply of water to the leaves and seals off the region between the leaf stem and tree trunk. Trees regain their leaves in springs. The deciduous trees produces thin, broad and light- weighted leaves. This type of leaf structure is capable of capturing sunlight efficiently.  

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.  

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.  

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.

hope this .. .
