Lessening of pollution!

1. Deforestation can be defined as the
large-scale removal of trees from forests (or
other lands) for the facilitation of human
activities. It is a serious environmental
concern since it can result in the loss of
biodiversity, damage to natural habitats,
disturbances in the water cycle, and soil
erosion.

2. What are the effects of deforestation?
Trees absorb and store carbon dioxide. If forests are
cleared, or even disturbed, they release carbon dioxide and
other greenhouse gases. Forest loss and damage are the
cause of around 10% of global warming. There's simply no
way we can fight the climate crisis if we don't stop
deforestation. Shrinking forests can cause wide-reaching
problems, including soil erosion, water cycle disruption,
greenhouse gas emissions, and biodiversity losses.
Combined, these four issues affect not only wild plants and
animals but human beings as well.

3. 1) Trees breathe in carbon dioxide to make their own food.
One attribute or important characteristic of carbon is trapping
heat. With this information how can deforestation harm the
earth’s atmosphere? Be specific! Think about it. Ask the
teacher for help if you need help.
2) Trees grow their roots deep into the ground. The deep
roots hold the soil in place. Small plants and grass that grow on
the surface of the ground also help hold down the soil with their
small roots. With this information, how can deforestation pollute
or harm the coral reef? Be specific! Think about it. Ask the
teacher for help if you need help.
