Explain why treehouses dont change in height as a tree grows
Dmitrij [34]
Treehouses are built on the stem and the three branches, which do not grow in length, only in width. Trees grow in length only in the area of the buds, which are located at the ends of branches. 
Maybe it is easier to understand this if you imagine that you put a small house replica on the palm of your hand and that your fingers are constantly growing from their tips.  So, the house on your palm would not move, only your fingers, (the analogy to the three top buds) would become longer.

Why were the Smith and Cuvier discoveries that similar groups of fossils in distant rock layers could be correlated such a major
tamaranim1 [39]
This was a major breakthrough in geology because it meant that sedimentary strata in diverse parts of a country or area could be correlated as belonging to the same formation which means they were formed at the same time historically so helped to put them in the correct sequence. If these strata contained valuable minerals like coal then it could aid in the search for coal. This helped William 'Strata' Smith in England to create his first geological map in the world of a whole country.
