When precious trees were lost due to a sudden earthquake at Bhadravathi, the continuous off take of carbon dioxide from the environment by the trees got affected. As we know plants for their nutrition requirement make use of process of photosynthesis, in which they consume Carbon Dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere. But with the loss of tree- cover consequent to the earthquake there wasn’t enough off take of carbon dioxide by the trees. This led to an unprecedented accumulation of this gas in the neighboring areas
