Answer 2

Answer:

35%​ of the earth surface is occupied by forests.

Explanation:

Forest cover:

Forest cover is the amount of land area that is covered by forest. It can be measured as relative or absolute. About a third of the world's surface is covered by forest, with closed-canopy forests accounting for 4–5 billion hectares of land. Forest cover is the actual area where forests exist. It is defined as all land of more than one hectare having a canopy density of more than 10 percent. There can be very dense forest, medium dense forest and open forest. Also there are "scrubs" or shrubs.

The land area where the density of trees is more than normal is called forest. There are many definitions of forest based on different parameters. Forests cover about 9.5% of the earth, which is about 35% of the total land area.
