understand that water
vapour, carbon dioxide,
nitrous oxide, methane
and CFCs are
greenhouse gases
What is a
greenhouse
gas?
A greenhouse gas is any
gas in the atmosphere
that contributes towards
the greenhouse effect
(global warming).
So what is this
‘greenhouse effect’?

The Greenhouse Effect
If the concentration of any off the greenhouse gases were
to increase, the greenhouse effect would be increased and
the Earth would get warmer.

Water Effect on

Deforestation
Leaching Soil
Removal of the trees
exposes the soil beneath
erosion
directly to rain, which
washes nutrients out of the
soil into surrounding
streams and waterways

Deforestation
Leaching Soil
The soil is physically
removed from its location
erosion
and washed down into
streams and rivers where it
will accumulate (silt) and
effectively block
waterways.

Leaching Soil
With trees present, much
transpiration occurs
erosion
through the leaves into the
atmosphere. When trees
are cut down this water
movement is stopped.

Photosynthesis in the
leaves of trees maintains

the balance in the
atmosphere between
oxygen and carbon
dioxide. Removing trees
disrupts this delicate
balance.
