1. Supply of wood:
The forests are made up of large amounts of trees, which, with regulated cutting, can continue to supply humans with wood needed for construction, fire-wood, ship-building (or at least before in history), and others.
2. Photosynthesis
The forests use Photosynthesis to take in carbon dioxide & monoxide (created by us humans), and with the process of photosynthesis, release Oxygen as it's waste (which we humans use).

<span>Fossils symbol and mountain belts are very important
for geologists in deciding where to move the continents.
Fossils and mountain belts can give the
geologist ideas about the history of the certain continents and what are the
animals that stayed and died in that place.
Both can also help the geologists to identify if the particular continent is a
safe place to live on because the animals of a long time ago stayed on that
place. So maybe the place is safe from water high tide and is not a moving
plates.</span>
hello there
Andrea's point is probably the answer you're looking for, however, you should keep in mind that many (most?) environmental laws are driven more by politics than by the available data. Scientists do research on any number of topics (environmental or not) that have implications for our society. We (scientists) like to think that policy makers take our data and results into consideration when drafting legislation, but I would say that in my experience this rarely happens. For one, there have rarely been any federal legislators who understand science. Even the few physicians who've gone into politics seem largely to fail to understand very basic tenets of science, or at least they don't often demonstrate it with their political actions. Leaving environmental issues, for example, if politicians took science into account, there would be no discussion in any school district in the country about whether or not evolution should be taught in schools, as there are simply *NO* scientists who are qualified to have an opinion who would suggest it shouldn't. Environmental issues are not really any different.
hope that helped bye
Soil liquefaction describes a phenomenon whereby a saturated or partially saturated substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other sudden change in stress condition, causing it to behave like a liquid.
