How does the Amazon Rainforest produce oxygen?
20% of the world's oxygen comes from the amazon rainforest.
Why do rainforest's produce forty percent of oxygen?
The rainforest is mostly trees and trees produce oxygen. So if there are a lot of trees like in the rainforest, there will be a ton of oxygen coming from the rainforest.
Why is the rainforest valuable?
the rain forest is valuable because many medicines are derived from rain forest plants. Most importantly, our oxygen comes from plants, the more plants, the more oxygen.The rain forest is considered valuable because many medicines are derived from rain forest plants.

How much of the worlds oxygen do rainforest's produce?
the answer is not nearly as much as people would imagine. the truth is the majority of the planets plant based oxygen production/carbon neutralization comes from ocean based blooms. Forest as such produce around 25% on average but you should also consider that the Taiga forest for example (that nobody ever talks about) absorbs more carbon and produces more oxygen than all the other temperate and tropical forests on the planet combined. This probably doesn't sit too well with Amazon conservationists but they should realize and focus on the real ecological damage done by deforestation there - which certainly ISN'T large scale oxygen depletion.
What resources do you get from rainforest?
oxygen,medicine,and wood
Why do people need the rainforest?
people need rainforests because they are the lungs of the earth and humans need oxygen and exygen comes from trees and rainforests have lots of trees
What are the positives about the rainforest?
Rain, and the production of oxygen.
What is Abiotic in the tropical rainforest?
water, sunlight, minerals, oxygen
Is oxygen level higher in rainforest than desert?
yes
Which rainforest produces half of the world's oxygen?
Cathy is right about no rainforest producing half of the world's oxygen, but she is absolutely wrong about plants not providing a significant amount of oxygen. The truth is that 98% of the world's atmospheric oxygen comes from plant life. Half of that 98% comes from phytoplankton in the oceans. The other half comes from plant-life on the surface. So, no individual rain forest can account for anywhere near half of the oxygen. In fact, it is now believed that rain forests are oxygen neutral meaning they use as much as they produce (after all, there are innumerable species and animals in the rain forest). William Winner I don't believe that any rainforest produces anywhere near that amount of oxygen. I am terrible with names, but I had the opportunity to ask a very highly acclaimed and reputable scientist about oxygen-making plants, leaves, etc. His response got my attention. He said that plants do not provide a significant amount of oxygen, and rainforests do not provide a significant amount of oxygen. He said it is a myth that they produce anywhere near a significant amount of oxygen. Probably perpetuated by someone who is trying to save a rainforest, and they are trying to think up reasons why we should think they are valuable and worth saving. I happen to be a person who loves forests of all kinds, and who wants to see forests instead of shopping malls! However, I love the truth. Very likely the truth about the rainforests is that their greatest value is to provide habitat for marvelous animals and plants. I also believe that people have not fully explored the possibilities inside a rainforest. There are probably new species and varieties of plants, animals, birds, insects, etc. that may potentially be valuable to us. I believe that a rainforest has a great deal of value to us as the rainforest it is. I don't believe it has much value as a source of oxygen for human beings. But there are so many other great values contained inside the rainforest that I see no reason to try to make up things about it! Cathy Williams
What does a polar bear bear need in a rainforest?
Polar bears do not live in the rainforest but they do depend upon it for the oxygen it produces.
Why do you need rainforest?
We need rain forests for our air supply. Much of our food comes from there.Much of our animals in the world live mostly there.Much of our stuff comes from the rainforest's.
