During daylight hours, plants and algae take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. If humans remove forests, what might happen to the balance between these gases? (2 points)

Respuesta :

There might not be enough oxygen for us to survive. As the plants and animals circulate the flow of oxygen and carbon, it wouldn’t be enough. Say you were trapped in a vacuum (not the one you use to clean your house). You would have only enough oxygen in your lungs to last you for a little while, but then there is too much carbon in the air that we exhale. Plants and animals use that carbon to release oxygen. So, without them, earth would be filled with carbon

If there is deforestation by the humans there will probably be very less oxygen left for the survival of humans and other mammals on the Earth.

Also due to deforestation rainfall will also be less which will result in less ground water level being formed and hence there will be no water for human survival.

  • If there is oxygen in the atmosphere, it is the only breathable air suitable for inhalation and survival by the living beings and a great part of this oxygen available is produced by the jungles and evergreen forests.

  • The rainfall is also caused by the forests as there rain cycle is mainly done by plants after they secrete elements in the sky leading to formation of clouds.

  • The plants carry a process of photosynthesis where the sun-rays fall on the the plants and trees during the daylight and the carbon dioxide is inhaled by them exhaling Oxygen.

Hence, if there is deforestation by humans, there will be no oxygen left and this will result in extinction of humans from Earth.
