2. Rain Forests
. A Rainforest can be described as a tall, dense jungle. The
reason it is called a "rain" forest is because of the high
amount of rainfall it gets per year.
World’s oldest ecosystem
Seen all around the world
Recives upto 33 feet of rain per year
Richest biodiversity in the world
Lungs and skin of Earth
3. Scattered around globe
. Rain forests in the world are.
1. Amazon (Lungs of Earth)
2.Daintree
3.Alaska
4.The Congo
5.South East Asian
8. Importance of rain forests
Rainforests are responsible for 28% of the world's
oxygen turnover.
House for more than 50% of the world’s Biodiversity.
Protect form Global warming.
Prevents Soil erosion.
Protects Environment against floods and droughts.
9. Global warming
Global warming is a steady rise in Earth's
surface temperature.
Temperature is caused by increased concentration of
green house gases.
Green house gases
a. CO2 b. Methane
c. Ozone c. Nitrous Oxide
e. Water Vapour
10. a. Burning of fossil fuels.
b. Deforestation.
c. Industrial Processes.
Causes
11. Effects
a. Rising sea levels
b. Alterations in Ecology.
c. Increase in surface temperature of earth.
d. Adverse effect on marine life.
13. When trees are cut down and burned or allowed to
rot, their stored carbon is released into the air as
carbon dioxide. And this is how deforestation
and forest degradation contribute to global
warming.
Ex. Amazon forest fire.
14. global climate change and more deforestation will
likely lead to increased temperatures and changing
rain patterns in the Amazon, which will
undoubtedly affect the region's forests, water
availability, biodiversity, agriculture, and human
health.
15. The Amazon is burning
over the past few weeks devastating forest fires have
been spreading across the Brazilian Amazon depleting
carbon-absorbing forest and emitting millions of tons
of carbon dioxide into the
