What countries produce the most oxygen?

The Amazon rainforest in Brazil and other tropical rainforests are known to produce a significant amount of oxygen. Additionally, countries with large areas of forested land, such as Russia, Canada, and the United States, also contribute significantly to oxygen production. Ultimately, the total amount of oxygen production is a result of global forest cover and plant life.


Why are rain forests helpful?

Rainforests are extra helpful because they produce exotic fruits and medicine. They also produce the majority of the oxygen on the planet.


How much of earth's oxygen comes from rainforest?

Actually, rainforests (or any other type of forest) are not a source of net oxygen production. As vegetation grows it creates oxygen from CO2. The carbon is used to build the plant and the oxygen is released, but, when a plant dies the opposite happens. As it decomposes it produces CO2 and absorbs oxygen as the carbon in the plant recombines with the oxygen. In a mature forest, as rainforests are, the growth and decay are in balance and the net production of oxygen is zero. As a forest grows carbon accumulates in its plant material, but, as deforestation occurs there is a net loss of plant material and CO2 is released. The myth that rainforests produce "28% of the world's oxygen" simply is not true.

What is the place with the most oxygen on earth?

The place with the highest oxygen levels on Earth is typically at sea level, where the atmosphere is thickest. Rainforests and other dense vegetation areas also produce high levels of oxygen due to photosynthesis.

Why are tropical rainforests important?

Oh, dude, tropical rainforests are like the lungs of the Earth, you know? They produce a ton of oxygen, help regulate the climate, and are home to a crazy amount of plant and animal species. So, like, if we mess with them too much, we're basically shooting ourselves in the foot.


What things does the raiforest produce?

Tropical rainforests produce, most importantly, 40% of the earth's oxygen. Rainforests today cover less than 6% of the world's surface and yet scientists estimate that more than half of all of the earth's plant and animal live in these rainforests. The three largest rainforests are located in South America, Africa, and Asia. Probably the best known, is the rainforest in Brazil which is in grave danger of destruction by industrialists. Approximately 25% of all of the medicines that we use come from rainforest plants. An example of this is curare which comes from a tropical vine. It is used as an anesthetic and to relax muscles during surgery. Also, quinine, which is used to treat malaria is produced from the cinchona tree. There are many more examples of plants that produce medicines that grow only in our rainforests.
