How Can You Tell the Age of a Tree, Horse, or Rock?

Trees: A tree's age can often be determined by counting its growth rings.

Horses: Horses are not typically described by "years" in the same way; their size is measured in hands (one hand equals four inches), and age is usually estimated through records or dental examination.

Rocks: Rocks do not have an age in years in the biological sense, though geologists can estimate their formation age using scientific dating methods.
