GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -1 If forests disappear, the amount of carbon dioxide in air will increase, resulting in the increase of earth’s temperature. 2 In the absence of trees and plants, the animals will not get food and shelter. 3 In the absence of trees, the soil will not hold water, which will cause floods.

Detailed explanation-2: -The temperature will be boosted upon the earth’s surface. The food and shelter of animals will be absent. A decrease in the number of trees will lead to natural calamities like floods. Global warming, habitat destruction, and water cycle disturbance are the main effects on the earth if there are no trees.

Detailed explanation-3: -Trees take in carbon dioxide and traps it into tissues and soil while at the same time releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. The removal of trees significantly reduces the rate of this process, resulting in higher carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and lower natural oxygen levels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow. This is converted into carbon and stored in the plant’s branches, leaves, trunks, roots and in the soil. When forests are cleared or burnt, stored carbon is released into the atmosphere, mainly as carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-5: -Large amounts of carbon would run into the oceans, causing extreme acidification and killing possibly everything but jellyfish. Over time, Crowther predicts that we would see the release of 450 gigatonnes of carbon into the atmosphere – more than doubling the amount that humans have already contributed.
