Question

Explain how forests prevent floods.



​

Answer 1

Answer:

Forests act as a natural absorber of rainwater and allows it to seep because of roots of trees. When rainwater falls on leaves of trees and plants, it does not fall directly on the ground. It drips slowly on the forest ground (does not stagnate) and hence prevents floods.

Answer 2

Answer:

Forest acts as a natural absorber of rainwater and approves it to seep. When rainwater falls, it does not fall immediately on the ground. It falls on the leaves of bushes and flowers and then it drips slowly on the wooded area ground (does now not stagnate) and as a result forestall floods. Also, the roots of the trees absorb water and help in seeping of water into the soil. Thus helps in preventing floods.
