Forest burning releases CO2 while decreasing oxygen, which disrupts cycles
|
|
|
Deforestation reduces the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, which depletes the ozone layer
|
|
|
Forest clearing is often followed by land development, which often leads to increased noise pollution
|
|
|
Deforestation increases the number of plant and animal species by destroying habitat

Detailed explanation-1: -When forests are cut down, much of that stored carbon is released into the atmosphere again as carbon dioxide (CO2). This is how deforestation and forest degradation contribute to global warming.
Detailed explanation-2: -Deforestation refers to the purposeful clearing or thinning of trees and forests. When deforestation occurs, much of the carbon stored by trees is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, which contributes to climate change.
Detailed explanation-3: -Trees not only absorb carbon dioxide from our air, they also store carbon in their roots, leaves and trunk. Trees in the Amazon rainforest hold 48 billion tons of carbon. So, when trees are cut down, it’s a double whammy on climate change-more carbon dioxide is released and less is absorbed.
