What is the major source of mass of General Sherman’s body? How do these trees build such large bodies? What are their bodies made of? Please write 3-6 sentence to answer this question.
18-32 Sequoias The "big trees," Sequoiadendron giganteum,
of the western slope of California's Sierra Nevada are the largest
of gymnosperms. The largest specimen, the General Sherman
sequoia, is more than 80 meters high and is estimated to weigh at
least 2500 metric tons. The largest of living animals, the blue whale,
pales by comparison. Blue whales rarely exceed 35 meters in length
and 180 metric tons in weight.
