Deforestation leads to a loss of biodiversity because when trees are cut down, flora and fauna become _________.
"Tropical rainforests enable water to be collected and stored. It also filters rainwater and channels clean water to reservoirs. A loss of trees has led to the drying of rivers and water sources, and the rising cost of water."
Which impact of deforestation does the statement describe?
Loss of biodiversity
Loss of water catchment
Soil erosion and sedimentation
Flooding
Which of the following are greenhouse gases?
Carbon dioxide
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrogen
Carbon
Water vapour
The enhanced greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring phenomenon.
True or False?
True
False
Which answer BEST explains how trees prevent the enhanced greenhouse effect?
Trees take in CO2 and give out O. With more trees, there is more O and less CO2. This prevents the enhanced greenhouse effect.
Trees capture greenhouse gases. With more trees, less greenhouse gas is in the atmosphere. This reduces the enhanced greenhouse effect.
Trees capture CO2 which is a greenhouse gas. With more trees, less CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere. This reduces the enhanced greenhouse effect.
Which are the ways in which deforestation leads to the enhanced greenhouse effect?
Trees take in CO2, which is a greenhouse gas. Hence, when trees are removed, more CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere.
Trees store carbon. When trees are cut down, the carbon is released, and contributes to the amount of CO2 (greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere.
Felled trees are usually burnt to clear the land. The burning releases emissions like carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, which are greenhouse gases.
What impact of deforestation does this photo show?
Flooding
Soil erosion
Loss of biodiversity
Loss of water catchment
Which of the following explain how trees prevent flooding? You may choose more than 1 answer.
Soil absorbs rainwater and releases it slowly into rivers.
Rainwater flows directly on the ground and flows on the ground as a flood.
Rainforests catch the rainwater, allowing it to seep slowly into the ground. The rainwater is then stored as groundwater.
Trees release water vapour during transpiration.
