it depends on the amount of water and size of fire. small amount of water would take the heat out of fire by cooling, steam absorbs the heat. a large amount of water doused on fire would smother taking the oxygen out of fire.

Why is cutting down trees bad for the environment and ecosystem?

Cutting down trees is bad for the environment and ecosystem because trees play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide, providing oxygen, regulating the climate, and supporting diverse plant and animal species. When trees are removed, it can lead to deforestation, habitat loss, soil erosion, and disruption of the ecosystem's balance, ultimately harming biodiversity and contributing to climate change.


How does logging and cutting down trees affect global warming in Los Angeles?

Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air. They store the carbon and release the oxygen. They do this during all the time they are growing. Logging and cutting down trees means they are not taking carbon dioxide from the air. Because carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas causing global warming, cutting down trees increases the warming. Global warming means 'all over the world'. So cutting down trees in Indonesia will affect the warming in Los Angeles. Cutting down trees in Los Angeles will affect global warming in Djakarta.


What process in the transperancy release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?

The process of deforestation, where trees are cut down and burned or left to decay, releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is because trees store carbon in their biomass, and when they are removed, this carbon is released back into the air through decay or burning.

Does cutting down trees increase the amount of water vapor in the air?

Cutting trees reduces the amount of moisture (and oxygen) in the state. If you spend much time in WV in the summer, you will find the air moving in the woods to be cooler and feel much more moist to the skin. If you are in a hollow and the air is sweeping up the hollow, in dense forest, it's down-right cold. Goose-bumps for sure!

Deforestation means people cut down or even burn trees to clear for land for plantation. It is very cruel as it removed lot's of species habitat, and also trees are the source of oxygen.

Can living things such as trees can both slow down and speed up erostion?

Yes, trees can both slow down and speed up erosion. Tree roots help hold soil in place, which can slow down erosion by stabilizing the soil. However, if trees are removed or deforested in an area, it can lead to increased erosion as there are no longer roots to hold the soil in place.
