  • Deforestation refers to the decrease in forest areas across the world that are lost for other uses such as agricultural croplands, urbanization, or mining activities such as cutting the trees down
  • Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth's climate system observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere.

Nehavishnukumar https://padlet.com/Nehavishnukumar/4d2hkoqidi51yrh6/wish/1987460069 The trees of tropical forests, like all green plants, take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen during photosynthesis. ...

This is how deforestation and forest degradation contribute to global warming.]]> 2022-01-12 04:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/Nehavishnukumar/4d2hkoqidi51yrh6/wish/1987460069 Adverse effects on health and environment Nehavishnukumar https://padlet.com/Nehavishnukumar/4d2hkoqidi51yrh6/wish/1987464529 A number of specific environmental issues can impede human health and wellness.
