Question

Give reason for the following :
1. Forests are called ' lungs of the Earth'.

Answer 1

Heya friend,

-----------------------------------------------------------

Forests provide clean air as they are the reservoirs of life giving oxygen. They help to maintain the oxygen - carbon dioxide ratio in the atmosphere. They are , therefore , rightly known as the lungs of the earth.

Forests are the habitat for the living organisms and are a storehouse of biodiversity.

Forests also reduce the speed of strong winds and trap dust and gases.

Forests produce humus and maintain soil fertility.
