  1. Trees make the inland rain and keep rivers flowing with the precipitation which takes water out of the air and the roots release the excesses,

    Condensation drops water on the ground and evaporation  cause cloud formation and subsequently rain.

    In the regions with have no more trees ,rivers dry up.

    Trees that die or leaves that rot let off carbon

    And new leaves absorb it

    Trees ARE the water and carbon cycles

    in 300 years half the planets forests have gone



    in 50 years half of the rain forests and wetlands

    and all of the species of animals and plants that lived with them have also gone about 3000 species so far

    see how fast the forests are going

  2. well it could effect the water cycle with bring yto much water into the water from the defrostation. There is going to be so much water from the defrostation, where im from, the main city is going to be under water. and new york is going to be underwater.

  3. Well it is very simple... Carbon cycle requires either trees or photosyntetic bacterias (as in the early age of our planet), to conver CO2 into oxigen, know as PHOTOSYNTESIS (sunligh is also utilized in the process).

    As for the water cycle, most of the solid land masses (especially near rivers) are held togetther thank to the roots on trees and other plants. Thay also shade the ground around them and by shoung so prevent mass evaporation of the vital liquid due to direct and intence solar rays on the earth surface.

    If you google  PHOTOSYNTESIS and H2O cycle you will answer all you questions. Both processes are very simple to undesrtant but comlpex in their function

  4. (A) less number of trees would produce lesser oxygen.

    (B) lesser trees would reduce amount of transpiration.

  5. All I know, Is a 500 year old dead tree laying on the ground that can still build anything you choose too waisting away is a sin!
