Question
What would happen if forests disappear?

Answer

The conditions and issues we have to face when forests disappears are:
  • Soil erosion: Trees in a forest hold soil with their roots. If trees are gone, soil will be washed away.
  • Landslides: Without trees, land will be very unstable and easily down the slope.
  • Water pollution: Without tree roots holding the soil in a forest, soil will run into the river.
  • Temperature increase: The amount of carbon dioxide in air will increase, resulting in the increase of earth's temperature.
  • Loss of biodiversity: Plants and animals will lose their food and shelter.
  • Floods: Bald hills and mountains can no longer hold back sudden flows of water, which cause floods.
  • Increase in carbon dioxide: Depletion of forests results in increase in carbon dioxide, which will cause global warming.
