Sequoia
trees are not the tallest trees on Earth, but they are the largest in
volume. This slice of a sequoia shows that it was a few thousand
years old when it fell. The diagram below it shows how big the
tree was during certain milestones in human history.
The General Sherman Tree is the largest living thing on Earth.
The kids pose in front of the General Sherman. (It took four pictures to capture the whole tree) |
