What effect does it have when the rain forests get cut down?

Answer 1

It affects the animals because the rainforest animals lose their homes and people need trees because trees give oxygen.

The animals decrease rapidly because there is no shelter, and some animals can only adapt to the rainforest, so there won't be another home for them. Cutting down trees affect people because oxygen is a big part of the atmosphere around us; we need to breathe good oxygen.

Answer 2

Trees produce oxygen for the earth and clean the earth's air. Plants take in CO2 and make O2.

Now, when you cut down trees you:

• Decrease the amount of O2 in the world
• Increase greenhouse gases CO2
• Decrease places where the animals of the rainforest used to live
• Increase animal and plant extinction (imagine if the cure for cancer is in one of those plants they just burned down so North Americans can have more coffee or beef?)

Answer 3

Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere. We have destroyed many great forests all over the world in the last 250 years, and at the same time we have been burning fossil fuels, adding more carbon dioxide to the air.

Because there are not enough trees to absorb this extra carbon dioxide it is overwhelming the natural carbon cycle, which cannot remove it from the atmosphere. The extra greenhouse gases capture more and more heat from the sun, causing global warming.

Answer 4

The trees (in our rainforests) cut down carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen.

The carbon dioxide in our earth's atmoshere helps keep our earth from freezing. This could cause our climate to get warmer.

Answer 5

trees give off oxygen, which help animals live. If you cut down the trees, you cause global warming. The effects are; the sea-level rise, the spread of disease, reduced snowpak, more droughts, more floods, more wildfires, more heat waves, agricultural shifts.

Answer 6

It is a problem because all of the animals that are living in the rainforsts are losing their homes and bcoming extinct and all the trees are going to end up not being there so there will be no oxygen for us to breathe.

Answer 7

loss of habitat for animals, loss of oxygenating plants, loss of plant and animal species

Answer 8

The rain forests help control global warming, have many plants with pharmaceutical value, and many consumer goods come from ingridents found in the rainforests

Answer 9

It increases amount of polution, Decreseases level of oxygen in the air and makes animals move tio different environment
