      If one stops to look at an elephant, either in real life, say at a zoo or on film then one will see, if the elephant is in fact alive, then it is living in the space it takes up. So if you believe elephants do not live in space I put it to you that you are not looking at an elephant but in fact you are looking at 3 to 5 tonnes of premium lion/dog food.

      ThePoptartster ya you right, not knowing that "baum" is German for tree does not equal stupidity, simply ignorance. Drunk comment do on some level equal stupid comments.

      haha.. I was just talking about the phrase "you da bomb" and I assumed anyone would figure the rest from OP's post/the subject/OP's pic. My logic required everyone reading to know what "ein" meant, AND that OP's pic was a tree. That's an awful lot of assumptions on my part. If lazy thought is stupid.. I might be that! >.

    Some mountains do have trees at their peaks. Ever look at the Appalachian Mtns? Because I've been to the top of several and was surrounded by trees. I guess it depends on the height of the mountain and the Appalachians, being much older than most mtn chains, are not as high as say the Rockies or Andes. But they are mountains and they do have trees at the top. Why did you not mention this ancient chain of mountains in your video?

  • @bobbyharper8710
    @bobbyharper8710 9 років тому +1

    Almost every forest has been cut at least once since Europeans arrived and the clearcut method caused erosion and trees find it even harder to grow so the treeline is far below it's historic altitude.

    Some places have no trees on mountain tops do to lack of soil. The reseeding ice age erosion stripped the continent to rock on some mountain tops. There’s not enough soil to support plants. Some of what’s brought up here has nothing to do with it

  • @kimbyrd2298

  • @Legomaster719
    @Legomaster719 9 років тому +2

    Perhaps it comes from having done alot of hiking as a kid, but this seems kind of obvious to me. I had always known that it has to do with temperature and the soil composition, though they didn't mention that part. At higher elevations there are less nutrients in the soil, which is caused in large part by the fact that nothing can grow due to the temperature. I guess you could call it a feedback loop.

    So here is something to consider.
    Why do we even entertain the idea that trees are stand alone organisms?
    Is it possible to consider that where there are creatures that require trees, trees grow?
    Considering what lives above and below the dirt that requires oxygen, might change our outlook on why trees grow the way that they grow.

    Why does the air follow the surface of the earth even though it travels at 500 km/ph ?
    I find it weird that the air and the surface are so syncronized? Has it something to do with gravity and the three dimensions, just like galaxies, or is it because of friction between the air and the surface?

      ***** I might be wrong but, for it to be defined as irony the car companies main goal would have to be to cause climate change. While in actuality it's merely a symptom of their actions, not their main goal. So it's close to irony, though imo it's just amusingly coincidental. (sorry if my opinion offended you)
