Question

perhaps you have heard that the greenhouse effect can cause a problem if too much heat is trapped. Extra heat is trapped because Earth's atmosphere is changing. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing. Some of the extra carbon dioxide is produced by burning fuels. Some of these fuels include wood, coal, oil, and natural gas. Also, when trees and other plants are destroyed, the problem gets worse. Living plants use up some carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. When the plants are destroyed, the carbon dioxide level continues to rise. how would planting trees lessen the greenhouse effect?

Answer 1

Answer:

In the process of photosynthesis, trees tend to take up carbon dioxide and water and convert it into oxygen and glucose. In this way, trees help in reducing the amount of carbon dioxide from the air which is otherwise a source of global warming. The process of photosynthesis also yields oxygen which is beneficial for life on earth.

The trees also store carbon inside them hence, reducing global warming. The more the trees, the more will be the chances of carbon being reduced from the atmosphere and being stored in the trees.

Plant processes like transpiration help to lower the temperature around them. Hence, more the trees, lesser will be the rise in temperature.
