How are trees big?
A few months ago I was looking at the trees in my backyard and marveling at their size. Then it suddenly dawned on me. Where does all the stuff that makes a tree come from? I was surprised at what I didn’t really understand until that day.
If you want to know more about these characters Pebble and Wren you can see their origin story here: • Pebble and Wren
And you can get the book I wrote about them here: hallbeck.com/links/

Basically had this conversation with my little cousin when she was eight. She went out and started huffing at our grandma's peach tree.

But Pebble and Wren read many books! (and Pebble eats them too).
Awesome informative comic that doesn't seem too boring to watch. Great job! ❤
Quite educational! What did we learn? Emergency cookies are crucial!
So Pebble and Wren Volume 2 soon?
I love that the answer to the question at the end is: yes, somewhat.
Nice!! 🎉
Now that's awesome and informative at the same time. 😮😮😮😮

I once wondered why there is such a thing as soil on the ground, where did it come from? I found the answer in a conversation like this.
This would make for some super cool edutainment

A very similar question which puzzled me when I was younger: Why don't farm fields become pits over time since you remove everytime a lot of material from the field when harvesting?
And that kids is the food chain. This should be expanded to explain the role of other animals and how humans are destroying the ecological balance. Go @ChrisHallbeck!!!

Then the tree uses the carbon to make sugar, which is stored and used to produce energy for the tree

There is a tiny error: trees do not break CO2, but water. The oxygen they produce (the first pollutant that caused the extinction of many lifeforms... seriously) comes from water, not from carbon dioxide. Said that, yeah, it is pretty amazing that tree can grow so much from just air, water and light.

That's smart(or I am just dumb)
I guess I should work out more so I can feed the trees!
Fun fact: trees also need oxygen. At night, when photosynthesis is not possible (as it requires light), the trees still take the oxygen from the air, but do not release any.
Happy Earth Day 🌎
Hehe little dudes mind will be blown when he learns where all those atoms came from originally

Yes.
Yeah I was slowly coming to the realization as I lost my COVID weight last year that most of the mass that I lost must have been through breathing out the carbon
Wow

And you are made of the tree
The tree doesn't break CO2 down to carbon and oxygen tho. The oxygen is from water. It uses energy from the sun to combine carbon dioxide and water to make carbohydrate and releases excess oxygen ripped from water, not carbon dioxide.

Are monsters carbon based lifeforms that respirate?

Well technically the trees breathe, too, so the trees are making oxygen for themselves and making carbon dioxide for themselves, and animals just lodged themselves in the middle.
Actually, the Oxygen from Carbon Dioxide is incorporated into the tree, along with Hydrogen from water. Th e Oxygen from WATER is released into the atmosphere.
.
It's the same as losing weight through dieting and exercising - most of the fat you lose is breathed out during your sleep as carbon dioxide and water vapour.
Wellllll, 60% of oxygen on Earth is made from algae rather than trees but eh.
