2.fruits

3.wood.

4.when they die and are compressed they give us coal.

5.they prevent soil erosion.

6.protection form floods.

7.they give us oxygen and reduce carbon-di-oxide.

8.they disintegrate dead organisms.

9.they are home to many plants and animals.

10.paper

Answer 2

Produces oxygen to breath

stops soil erosion

Gives fruits,nuts, etc

Gives us gum

Gives off shade

Hope some of those help you out

Answer 3

shade, oxygen, fruit, medicinal uses: bark, leaves

a nice swing,  

Answer 4

For eight year olds to understand.

here's 4 more

Tree houses

Food ie. Sap = Maple syrup for pancakes or food for animals...nuts berries, oh and organges and apples.

Shade...a cool place to stay to in a hot sunny day

To decorate..ie Christmas trees.

Answer 5

OK, I'll see what I can think of:

1. Produce Oxygen

2. First level of food chain in the earth (though this refer to general plant, not only tree)

3. Serve foods and medicines (fruits, leaves, roots)

4. Serve building material (woods)

5. Aesthetic function (gardening)

6. Preserve tap water

7. Shade

8. Paper material

9. Serve an ecosystem to soil organism, birds, and others

10. A place to have fun (e.g. play swing below a tree is always fun)

Hope it would helps =)

Answer 6

1.You need trees to breathe

2.When you chew gum, you use trees.

4.Climbing trees

5.Tying a tire to a tree and swinging in it.

6.Studying

7.Using trees for shade

8.Sitting under a tree

9.When you use paper you use trees

Answer 7

Answer 8

Trees can be grown as a crop in themselves, for timber, biomass, or basketry. Many trees and shrubs were formerly important for uses such as rope making or in medicinal preparations.

Trees and shrubs can represent a valuable soil stabilizing or windbreak resource, enabling adjacent crops, including grass and other fodder crops, to grow better.

Some trees fix nitrogen in the soil, which directly benefits adjoining crops, or enrich it by taking up scarce minerals and other nutrients from deep in the soil, where more shallow-rooted plants cannot reach them, and making them available through its leaves when they fall in autumn. Where particular soils are known to be poor in particular minerals, judicious planting of particular accumulator species of trees and shrubs can help redress this vital balance (indeed, in a Forest Garden setting, tree species and numbers are carefully chosen to obviate entirely any need for application of specific soil additives).

In careful plantings the benefit to surrounding soils is greater than any disadvantage such as shading by mature trees. Livestock benefits from both the improved shelter, and from improved forage quality and quantity.

not only this they control soil erosion,they give out oxygen during respiration and take in carbon dioxide,they give shade,they make the environment cool by giving out small amounts of water vapor through the process of transpiration.

hope this helps you
