Because most of the Amazon Rainforest is within its borders, and the Amazon Rainforest prduces most of the oxygen we use to breathe.
Forests.
Forests are called the lungs of the Earth as they give us oxygen. Earth actually do not have any lung but forest acts as a lung. Like when we inhale oxygen, this oxygen goes into lungs and when we exhale carbon dioxide, this gas is exhaled from lungs. Similarly, forest exhale oxygen and inhale carbon dioxide. So, the forest acts a lung.
Because it has the most trees which provides very mmuch oygen for the Earth.
FOREST ARE THE LUNGS OF THE EARTH ,IT RELEASES OXYGEN to keep us healthy.
We breathe out CO2, trees breathe it in, they breathe out Oxygen and we breathe it in, so techincally they're our lungs
Trees are being destroyed primarily due to deforestation, human activities such as logging, agriculture expansion, and urbanization. Climate change is also leading to increased forest fires and disease outbreaks, further contributing to tree destruction and loss of the so-called "lungs of the earth."
the lungs of our planet...
Forests are often referred to as "the lungs of the earth", probably by folks who have no idea about what lungs do except that it has something to do with air. Lungs extract oxygen from the air and provide it to the body for conversion of food (e.g. sugar) to carbon dioxide. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and convert it to oxygen and sugars through photosynthesis - the dead opposite of the lung/body function. Trees might better be called the "anti-lungs" of the Earth as they do this opposite function. Even calling them the scuba tanks of the Earth might be more correct as they supply oxygen to living organisms. Most accurate would be to call them the oxygen factories.
The Lungs of the Earth is the Amazon Rainforest on the continent of South America.
many medicines come from the rainforests
The gullet, also known as the esophagus, leads to the stomach, not the lungs. The windpipe, also known as the trachea, does connect to the lungs.
