Knowing that more than 50% of the world's amimals and plants live in the tropical rainforests is extremely important. This means that we must sustain the rainforests so that the animals have a habitat. Otherwise, when trees are cut down, the plants and animals that live in these tree will die for they have no where else to live. This leads to the animals and plants that live in the soil.
The dramatic loss of trees, that anchor the soil with its roots, causes widespread erosion throughout the tropics. The only good soils that are able to survive are cleared away by the rain because the trees leaves aren't there to stop it from getting to the soil. Rica loses about 860 million tons of trop soil after deforestation while the Great Red Island, Madagascar loses so much soil to erosion (400 tons/ha) that its rivers turn red-blood, staining the Indians oceans.
After rainfall rains on cleared forest lands, the run off the damaged trop soils are carried into local rivers and creaks. Hydroelectric products and irrigation infrastructure lose productivity from siltation while industrial installations suspend operations due to the lack of fresh water.
It also damages fishes for the increased sediment load in rivers smothers the fish eggs causing them to hatch slower. When the suspended particles of sediment get towards the ocean the water turns cloudy causing the coral reefs to die off and effects coastal fisheries' businesses.
It destroys trees, plants and animals and it takes away there homes/habitat.
If we lose the tropical rain forest we could lose the discoveries of new medicines (the tropical rain forest is where we get most of our now used medicines today).
Also we are polluting the rest of the forest and the earth with the gases the machines used to cut down trees.
Short answer
Deforestation destroys the forest and is not good.
ANIMALS: What if all your entire habitat was taken away from you? What would you do? This is how animals feel when their rainforest home was started to be chopped down. Some animals eat the plants that were chopped down. As a result, there is less food and habitat to live in.
PLANTS: plants are chopped down.
Deforestation is by definition the killing of plants.
by the animals having no place to live and dying
how might the extinction of an edible species of plant from a tropical rain forest affect animals that live in the forest
it kills them
by thefood and water it gives
Absolutely ! The human race is the only animal species on the planet that has hunted other species to extinction.
An extinction of one species could destroy an ecosystem if an animal depended on the extinct animal for food. Then that animal would die off, which could affect even more animals.
because it ids good
because of the interdependence of living things The extinction of one species or development of a new one often affect many others because of their interdependence in an ecosystem.
They are beautiful animals, and are on the verge of extinction. All measures should be taken to keep these priceless animals.
Every animal is a part of the food chain, so mass extinction can have very bad consequences for the species that survive. The surviving species must learn to work around the animal that has recently become extinct.
Bald Eagles are at the top of their food chain and if they go extinct then the animals beneath them on the food chain will overpopulate areas that have no other birds of prey besides the eagle.
the extinction of pandas would affect us byother animals would not be able to eat themwe would have a lot of bamboo that we do not needwe would have a big forest that they left
Air pollution affects extinction in several ways. For one, harsh chemicals in the air can impact both humans and animals. It can also lead to irreparable harm and damage via diseases. For years, countless species of animals have gone extinct due to environmental changes. These changes have been directly attributed to air pollution and contaminants.
environmental changes, predators , diseases , competition !
Generally not. Tornadoes are generally to rare and too localized to have a significant affect on species. If a species is threatened by a tornado it is likely on the verge of extinction anyway.
They are killing animals and putting an affect to the whole eco-system
