Planting trees help in checking global warming. Explain.

Planting trees help in checking Global Warming:

• Global warming occurs due to green house effect.


• The green house effect does not allow gases such as CO2 to escape into space.


• This forms the layer of CO2 in the atmosphere hence increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide.


• The layer does not allow the sunrays to escape into space.


• This increases the temperature of the earth causing global warming.


• If we plant trees, this increased level of carbon dioxide will be used by the plants hence, decreasing global warming.


• More the trees will be planted, more the amount of carbon dioxide will be used by these trees.


• This will help in destroying the layer of CO2 and hence decreasing the temperature of the earth.


• In this way planting trees help in decreasing the global warming.
