If a tree....... - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ok...we discussed this in science...so here's a lil science lesson for ya:

When something falls it produces sound waves. In order for it to be turned into a sound it needs to have something with the ability to turn the sound waves into a sound(people, animals). So...if nothin is there to turn it into a sound then it would just be sound waves. Yea...there ya go...lil science lesson for ya.

But if it's in a forest, wouldn't there be other trees for it to bounce off?

if the tree dies and gets old it can just fall over from being rotten. or it could just grow sideways then break and fall over. its possible.

Thanks for the science lesson. I guess the answer is still yes though because the forest is full of animals.
