scientists estimate that one fifth of the world's oxygen is given off by the trees in the rain forest. Destruction of the rain forest will decrease the amount of oxygen in the air throughout the world. Since oxygen is needed to form moisture, a decrease in oxygen will cause the world's climate to become drier.

What effect would the destruction of one of the solar system's outer planets have on the Earth?

Probably very little, but the mechanism of that destruction might be important. If the planet were shattered, it's possible that fragments of the (presumably solid, but with a gas giant that isn't certain) core might be scattered inward toward the inner solar system.


How is greenhouse gas affecting the forest and the earth?

Greenhouse gases keep the planet warm, and have done for millions of years. Too much greenhouse gas, like extra carbon dioxide, causes accelerated climate change. Forests and the earth may be affected by changes in climate and other possible results. The Amazon Rainforest suffered severe drought in 2005 and then worse in 2010. Millions of trees died. This might have been an effect of global warming.


What might be the effect on portlands climate if the cascade range was to the west rather than to the east of portland?

If the Cascade Range was to the west of Portland instead of the east, the climate in Portland would be significantly wetter due to the rain shadow effect. The mountains would block moisture from the Pacific Ocean, leading to less rainfall in Portland and a drier climate compared to the current situation.


What are two things mentioned in the reading that can happen that might affect an ecosystem?

Two factors that can significantly affect an ecosystem include climate change and habitat destruction. Climate change can alter temperature and precipitation patterns, impacting species survival and biodiversity. Habitat destruction, often due to urbanization or deforestation, can lead to loss of species and disruption of food chains, ultimately affecting the balance and health of the ecosystem.
