Why amazon rainforest called the lung of the earth?

Answer 1

Forests are full of trees, and for animal and human respiration, trees are important. Plants and trees use carbon dioxide in the process of photosynthesis, the waste output being oxygen, which then supplies animals and humans with oxygen to breathe. Trees contribute towards providing breathable air for all animal species, therefore they are called the lungs of the earth.

Answer 2

The millions of trees in the Amazon rainforest release oxygen and take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. It is a major contributor to removing CO2 and replenishing oxygen in the atmosphere.

Answer 3

"Lungs of the world" is a catchy phrase but shows a lack of understanding of one of lungs or forests. Lungs take in air and remove oxygen and exchange it with carbon dioxide then expel it. Forests take in carbon dioxide and expel oxygen - the opposite process. Forests might be called "the air hose of the world" or "the Scuba tank of the world", but this doesn't seem to be as catchy a slogan.

Answer 4

In the human body the lungs are the organs that supply oxygen to the blood without oxygen in our body we cannot live.

Trees give out oxygen into the earth's atmosphere so large areas of forest ( such as rain forests ) are like lungs they supply oxygen for the earth.

Answer 5

Because since plants undergo photosynthesis to make glucose, they produce oxygen and release it into the air providing the oxygen for our planet

Answer 6

because it gives 20 percent of air to humanbeing to live

Answer 7

The Amazon rain forest produces 20% of the Earths oxygen. By the continued destruction of these environments we are putting our future and that of of children for ages to come at risk.

Answer 8

they produce oxygen
