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).

Answer:

Forests serve as a resource in many different ways, but one very important function it serves is fuel. Wood from trees serves as an important energy source for many because it can be burned to heat homes when it’s cold or to prepare food. Forests also serve many functions in modern industry. Logging is a big business that provides lumber for the manufacturing of furniture and paper products, as well as home and building construction. Forests provide an important service for our atmosphere, by producing oxygen and removing CO2. They also serve as a habitat for many species.

Answer:

Mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains are the four major types of landforms. Minor landforms include buttes, canyons, valleys, and basins. Most geologists classify a mountain as a landform that rises at least 1,000 feet (300 meters) or more above its surrounding area. A hill is a landform that is higher than the surrounding land and has a visible summit; they're like mountains, only shorter. A plateau is a flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. A plain is a broad area of relatively flat land.
