Detailed explanation-1: -Forests bring rainfall in monsoon. It helps most in controlling drought.
Detailed explanation-2: -Trees release water vapour into the air in a process called transpiration. They release extra water in the form of water vapour from small holes of their leaves known as stomata, that water vapour rises in the atmosphere and form new rain clouds and that water vapour returns to earth in form of rain .
Detailed explanation-3: -Forests provide us with shelter, livelihoods, water, food and fuel security. All these activities directly or indirectly involve forests. Some are easy to figure out-fruits, paper and wood from trees, and so on.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tropical evergreen forests are found in places with high temperatures and heavy rainfall. They receive more than 200 cm rainfall per year. Tropical deciduous forests are the most widespread forests in India and are found in regions that receive between 70cm to 200cm of rainfall every year.
