Air:
• Forests help in purifying the air by absorbing all kinds of pollutants.
• Forests help in increasing the oxygen level in the air by absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.
• Transpiration helps to maintain the temperature of the surrounding and helps in the formation of clouds.
Soil:
• Plants in forest hold the soil thereby preventing soil erosion.
• Adds nutrients to the soil as a lot of vegetation present in the forest gets decomposed.
Water:
• Forest helps in bringing rain and increasing the level of water in underground levels
Answered by Shivani Kumari | 1 year agoWe know that many human activities lead to increasing levels of pollution of the air, water-bodies, and soil. Do you think that isolating these activities to specific and limited areas would help in reducing pollution?
You have seen weather reports on television and in newspapers. How do you think we are able to predict the weather?
How are living organisms dependent on the soil? Are organisms that live in water totally independent of soil as a resource?
