Hi Mrs.V! My science tree cookie answer is: Three different types of conditions are FIRE, INFESTION and I think one was called SLOPE.
The Rings of SLOPE would look sort of normal but some rings would be off to one side.

I'll see you on Monday!

the fire,infestation and competition.
the fire would affect the tree cookie by burning the tree and some of the rings.infestation what affect the tree cookie is that the pine beetle found in the mountains would affect the tree cookie's rings lie imagine a tree cookie with black dots on the side that's what it looks like.competition is a group of trees that battle each other wich destroys the tree's growth.
