What Are the Dangers of Cutting Down Trees? | eHow.com - 0 views

  • Falling Trees
  • There are a lot of different factors that can influence the direction a tree falls when it is cut down. The angle at which the tree is growing, the direction from which the person cutting down the tree is cutting it, the weight of the branches on one side versus the other side of the tree and even the strength of the wind can cause a tree to fall in a different direction than what the person cutting it down is anticipating. When this happens, trees can land on people, roadways, electrical poles, vehicles and homes, causing a significant amount of damage and even death. Falling trees can damage power lines if they come into contact with them while being cut down. If a tree hits a power line, there is a risk of electrocution and a fire may be started.

      I think it is enough now
  • Cutting down trees can be dangerous, especially if it is not done by an experienced tree cutter or logger. Many home or property owners will eventually have to remove a nuisance or dead tree from their property before it can damage their home or become unsightly. It is important to recognize the dangers of cutting down trees to take preventative safety precautions. Does this Spark an idea?

The Effects of Pollution on Trees | eHow.com - 0 views

  • Nearly all areas of the world have trees damaged from air pollution. The effects of pollution include leaf discoloration, damaged roots, weakened trees, tree death and damage to soil. Pollution decreases the tree's ability to use sunlight and robs the soil of nutrients in habitats from suburbs to forests. Industrial wastes and car emissions released into the atmosphere produce most tree pollutants.

      This explains what will or has happened 
  • Tree Damage
  • Virtually all of the pollutants to trees and forests are airborne including fluorides, oxidants, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide. Sunlight reacts with oxidants to form tree pollutants, like ozone and PAN (peroxyl acetyl nitrate). The gas known as ozone forms in the atmosphere's upper layers and protects the earth from radiation, but it can also be present near the ground as a pollutant. Most sulfur dioxide pollutants form when coal or oil is burned to produce electricity. It is also formed in the manufacture of products and in the extraction of ores. Fluorides are formed in processing aluminum ore and stone and in fertilizer production.

What is an alternative to deforestation - 1 views

  • Sustainable harvest, in which trees are cut at a rate that allows them to regrow in a given area at the same rate at which they are harvested. This is a form of conservation. Another form of conservation would be to protect forests from cutting altogether, such as in a national park.

      Cut down lesser trees so they have time to regrow.

  • The alarm was sounded decades ago by environmentalists - and was little heeded. The picture, meanwhile, has changed: Africa is now a leader in destructiveness. The numbers have changed: U.N. specialists estimate 60 acres of tropical forest are felled worldwide every minute, up from 50 a generation back. And the fears have changed.

What Happens to Animals When Rain Forests are Being Cut Down? - 2 views

  • Within the next 25 years, almost half of all the plant and animal species in the world will be either gone or endangered because of deforestation. Every day, we lose 137 species of insects, plants, and animals. That is 50,000 species a year. Some experts estimate that the rainforests will be gone in less than 40 years
