Answer 1

Really deforestation is like the worst problem that can affect our precious environment. and all this is to happpen nnot in two or three decades. But its affect is to be seen in the coming decade only.

Contribution of humans-------

Give details of the rapid industrialisation, urbanisation are the mass factors contributed by humans. Builders are rapidly clearing the land areas to make residential. Even thr rail, road network is ever increasing which r supproting to deforestation. The forested lands are getting cleared for commercial crops for human needs.

Effects------- According to a report Arctic circle is going to be without ice by 2012. Scientists have predicted that the temp will rise by 3-4 degrees and the rainfall will become heavier but less regular.

Answer 4

The answer is quiet simple:

1.Humans have contributed mainly by actually cutting the trees for different purposes as you would already know.

2.Humans have also contributed by extending uses of bio-fuels which lead to global warming, which in turn is very harmful for plants and animals.

I have many human factors in my mind, but it would perhaps be easy if you visit this website:
