"Tropical rainforests enable water to be collected and stored. It also filters rainwater and channels clean water to reservoirs. A loss of trees has led to the drying of rivers and water sources, and the rising cost of water."

Which impact of deforestation does the statement describe?

• Loss of biodiversity

• Loss of water catchment

• Soil erosion and sedimentation

• Flooding

Which of the following are greenhouse gases?

• Carbon dioxide

• Nitrous Oxide

• Nitrogen

• Carbon

• Water vapour

The enhanced greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring phenomenon.

True or False?

• True

• False

Which answer BEST explains how trees prevent the enhanced greenhouse effect?

• Trees take in CO2 and give out O. With more trees, there is more O and less CO2. This prevents the enhanced greenhouse effect.

• Trees capture greenhouse gases. With more trees, less greenhouse gas is in the atmosphere. This reduces the enhanced greenhouse effect.

• Trees capture CO2 which is a greenhouse gas. With more trees, less CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere. This reduces the enhanced greenhouse effect.
