What would Earth be like without trees?
There would be no life on earth without plants. Life could not exist on Earth without trees because they produce most of the oxygen that humans and wildlife breathe. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen using the process of photosynthesis. There would also be no rain without trees.
What if forests disappear?
1 If forests disappear, the amount of carbon dioxide in air will increase, resulting in the increase of earth’s temperature. 2 In the absence of trees and plants, the animals will not get food and shelter. 3 In the absence of trees, the soil will not hold water, which will cause floods.
