Why is cutting down too many trees bad?
1.humans breathe out carbon dioxide. and trees and flowers give out oxygen to the air that we breathe in. If we keep cutting trees. There would not be enough trees to produce oxygen. And we cant breathe in carbon dioxide cause then we would get carbon dioxide poison.
2. More car accidents because more animals would be running n the streets because of the loss of homes.
3.More possibility of getting deer ticks on your pets and yourself because a lot of deer have lost their homes and deers have ticks. Its getting so bad 3 families of deer live in my backyard.
4.animal attacks. More animal attacks would happen if all the forests are gone because they would have no ware to go.
5. The world that we live in would be a falling community because of the loss of trees. Animal attacks, deer ticks, car accidents and ect.

What would happen if all the trees were destroyed?
If all the rainforests were destroyed the world would practicly be destroyed because if there are no trees there will be no humans and no humans is no world.
AnswerThe removal of all the trees on earth would be a disaster. Whole ecosystems would collapse and many, many species of animals would disappear for lack of food, shelter, cover, nest sites and a host of other critical elements to their existence. Ceratinly other plants would fill in behind the trees, but if the trees go, life as we know it will disappear and something else will have to take its place.
Answer
trees carry out a very important function- they remove carbon dioxide from the air when they grow! as humans ,animals and insects etc.. breath out co2 then there would be less plants to trap this co2 in their growth - we would need many many more other plants to take up the co2 - we would need an area 5 times the size of the are covered by trees to grown over by other plants to replace trees as trees are the best plant to remove the co2 from the atmosphere- with out trees the co2 level would rise very quickly and as co2 is a green house gas then the temperature on earth would rise as well leading to super global warming! co2 is also acidic and the amount of co2 in the ocean would also rise making the oceans acidify and killing many if not most of the animal species and plant species in the oceans of the world. The main concern with global warming is the melting of polar ice caps this would release huge amounts of water into the worlds oceans raising sea levels ( coastal flooding) but most importantly totally changing the worlds weather system by increasing the amount of water in the atmosphere as well leading to extreme weather conditions ( signs of this are all ready happening due to the release of c02 from industry) - if the Arctic ice cap melts at a continuing rate then the Gulf stream ( a steam of warm water from Mexico) will be turned off and the north of Europe will drop in temperature by about 11 degrees and snow will then get a foot hold in northern Europe leading from a period of global warming to a very quick change to global freezing ( the snow would reflect the suns rays away ) Snow would then cover all the way down to Berlin! ( the same as the last ice age!) If you look at the globe of the Earth and check the height of Britain compared to the same height in Canada and Russia you will see that they are covered in snow all year round but north west Europe is not! - that's just how effective and important the gulf stream is !!! There you go - !!!After a brief period of global warming ruining the animal species then we would very quickly revert to a period of rapid cooling and maybe even an ice age!!!
Why has the rainforests changed over the years?
the rainforests have been cut down and burnt....DEFORESTATION
over the years this has happened more and more leading to animals dying out and many other species of plants etc

How much rainfall does tropical rainforest have?
Rainfall in the rain forest ranges from approximately fifty inches to approximately two hundred sixty inches per year. The average temperature in the rain forest is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
The people who run the rainforests are the people who are responsible for the protection of rainforests. The people like WIRES are responsible for the animals (fauna) contained within the rainforest.
What are herbivores carnivores and omnivores of rain forest?
In a rainforest ecosystem, herbivores are animals that primarily consume plant materials, such as leaves, fruits, and flowers; examples include sloths, various monkeys, and certain species of deer. Carnivores, on the other hand, are meat-eaters that prey on other animals, with examples including jaguars, ocelots, and various birds of prey. Omnivores, such as certain species of primates and wild boars, eat both plant and animal matter, allowing them to adapt to the diverse food sources available in the rainforest. This variety of feeding strategies helps maintain the ecological balance within the rainforest environment.

What are the water conditions of the amazon rainforest?
the environment in the Amazon Rainforest is very natural. Since it is very humid and wet it affects the layers. The layers are: forest floor, understory layer, canopy layer and emergent layer. These layers are caused by the climate and that affects the environment. There are many animals in the Amazon Rainforest. The green leaf area of plants and trees in the rainforest varies by about 25% as a result of seasonal changes. Leaves expand during the dry season when sunlight is at a maximum, then undergo abscission in the cloudy wet season. These changes provide a balance of carbon between photosynthesis and respiration.
Hope this helped!
