Question

Forests acts as a natural absorber of rain water and prevents flooding.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

This statement is true.

Forest acts as a natural absorber of rainwater and allows it to seep. When rainwater falls on leaves of trees and plants, it does not fall directly on the ground. It drips slowly on the ground and does not stagnate. Thus trees prevent flooding.
