Question

How do trees help in increasing rainfall?

Answer 1

• Trees play an important role in the preservation of nature. Planting more trees brings rain because plants transpire. Transpiration is a process by which aerial parts of the plants lose water as water vapor during photosynthesis. this water is added to the normal moisture of the air thus making the air saturated faster and bringing rain.
• In other words, the transpiration of plants plays an important role in the water cycle as it adds moisture to the air.
• Trees prepare their food and generate energy through a process known as PHOTOSYNTHESIS and through transpiration which sends out the excess water in the form of water vapor through small pores present on the leaf surface and this enables the raise in the content of water vapor in the atmosphere leading to precipitation in form of rain and this phenomenon is exhibited by most of the Mesophytes group Of Land Plants i.e; terrestrial ones.
• The air caused by the moving of plants and trees helps in the chemical reaction with clouds that are full water loaded thereby bringing rain to the earth. Thus plants play an important role in getting more rain.
