Building on our knowledge from yesterday, we are going to take a look at a case study of the rainforests and how humans are interrupting the natural cycles.

choose one cycle and explain how humans are negatively affecting it, with regards to the rainforest. Leave your comment below.
By cutting down trees, less carbon dioxide is able to be absorbed from the air which results in a greenhouse gas effect which will raise temperatures and cause chaos in the once peaceful balance of the rainforests.
With deforestation taking place, the water cycle will be affected by reducing the the evaporation that is produced by plant life. resulting in less cloud cover and thus the sun’s energy would heat the surface and air above which will increase temperatures in the rain forest’s.
Thanks for your ideas Warren and Deserae. The rainforest is a perfect example of how everything on Earth is so interconnected.
