Question

State whether the following statements are true or false. If false, give the correct statement.

Forests influence climate, water cycle, and air quality.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Influence of forests:

Climate:

• Forest absorbs the greenhouse gases, controls the carbon cycle, and controls the water flow.
• They also influence rainfall and help in prevent flooding.
• Therefore, in this manner forests influence climate.

Water cycle:

• The process of releasing excess water by plants into the atmosphere in the form of water vapor is known as transpiration.
• The process in which water vapor from oceans rises and condenses to form clouds is known as condensation and the process of moving clouds to land due to sea breeze is known as precipitation and this eventually leads to rainfall.
• All these processes together form the water cycle and hence forests play a significant role in continuing the water cycle.

Air quality:

• The trees in forests use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and release oxygen.
• In this manner, they purify the air and improve the air quality.

Hence, the given statement is true.
