A decision tree diagram is a graphical representation of decisions [that] includes the potential consequences of those decisions. A decision tree consists of nodes, branches, root nodes, and leaf nodes. Each node represents a decision made, or a test conducted on a specific attribute. Each branch represents the possible results or consequences of each decision. The root node is the starting point, which represents the first decision made. The leaf nodes represent the final results or conclusions. 2, record 1, English, - decision%20tree%20diagram

Stem elongation or jointing occurs as a result of internode elongation. Usually a plant has about five to six leaves on the main shoot when internode elongation first begins. Throughout development, the lower four nodes remain in the crown. The fifth node may remain in the crown or be elevated slightly and nodes six and seven are generally elevated above the soil. The elongating internode is hollow between the crown and the elevated growing point, except in solid stem varieties. Rapid stem or internode elongation brings the developing head above the soil surface. Each elongating internode becomes progressively longer and eventually leads to head emergence. 4, record 13, English, - shooting%20stage

On a non-rotating earth the tidal wave is a standing wave with a node, i. e. a line of no vertical movement, in the centre of the basin.... On a rotating earth the node is reduced to a point, called the amphidromic point. The tidal wave rotates around the amphidromic point, usually clockwise in the southern hemisphere and [counter]-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. 3, record 16, English, - amphidromic%20point

The Photo Plot Program uses 2414 permanent locations throughout the province. Each plot is centred on a coordinate that has been determined from a national 20 km X 20 km grid network. Each grid intersection, or node, is the centre point for a plot that encompasses an area 2 km X 2 km in size. In total, all of the provincial photo plots equal about 1% of the land area of British Columbia. 1, record 19, English, - photo%20plot
