You can tell the age of a tree by counting its ring. But these records of a tree’s life really say a lot more. Scientists are using tree ring to learn what’s been happening on the sun’s surface for the last ten thousand years. Each ring represents a year of growth. As the tree grows, it adds a layer to its trunk, taking up chemical elements from the air. By looking at elements in the rings from a certain years, scientists can tell what elements were in the air that year. Dr. Stevenson is analyzing one element, carbon-14, in ring from both living and dead trees. Some ring go back almost ten thousand years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carbon-14 levels changed with the intensity of solar burning. You see, the sun has cycles. Sometimes it burns fiercely, and at other times it is relatively calm. During the sun’s violent periods, it throw off charged particles (粒子) in fast moving streams called "solar winds". The particularly interfere with the formation of carbon-14 on earth. When there is more solar wind activity, less carbon-14 is produced. Ten thousand years of tree ring show that the carbon-14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. The scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle.
The purpose of the scientists in studying tree ring is to ______.
选项
A、examine the chemical elements in Ice Age
B、look into the pattern of solar wind activity
C、analyze the composition of different trees
D、find out the origin of carbon-14 on earth
