Yes, large-scale deforestation can significantly affect local rainfall patterns. Trees play a crucial role in the water cycle by absorbing and releasing moisture through a process called transpiration, which contributes to cloud formation and precipitation. When forests are cut down, this moisture is diminished, leading to reduced rainfall and potentially altering regional climates. Additionally, the loss of vegetation can increase soil erosion and decrease the land's ability to retain water, further exacerbating the impact on local weather patterns.
yes it can

Cutting down trees has a catastrophic effect on rainfall. The less trees there are in a given area, the less rainfall there is. tree roots hold the soil together and stop erosion. in the water cycle, rain falls from the sky and is intercepted by trees and buildings. water vapour the has to evaporate from the leaves of trees into the air by a process called transpiration. if there are no trees, there will be less transpiration and in turn, probably less rainfall.
There will be less rainfall
Yes. When we started burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and cutting down the great forests of the worldd (deforestation), the normal greenhouse effect began to change into the accelerated, or enhanced greenhouse effect which we now have.
Limiting the destruction of forests can slow the rate of global warming, but in itself is probably not enough to reduce the greenhouse effect. This can be achieved by reforestation, planting more trees, and by cutting our carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Yes, a mountain with forests on one side and desert on the other is a classic example of the rain shadow effect. As moist air ascends one side of the mountain range, it cools and releases precipitation, creating lush forests. On the other side, the now dry air descends, warms, and absorbs moisture, creating a desert environment with little rainfall.
Answer:Key Points are:* What is a forest, where are they, extent of forests * What is happening to forests - changes ove last 50-100 years * Benefits of forests * Existing forest conservation programs * Needed forest conservation programs * Costs of programs (economic/environmental)/ Benefits (economic/environmental) of programsAnswer: The cutting down of trees, how cutting down trees will further effect the enviroment, and the effect global warming has on trees
The after effect of a rainfall is a rainbow hehehehe
the effect of a flood is excesive rainfall
Forests promote water cycle. They transpire.
