प्रश्न
There is a general belief that forests tend to bring more frequent rains. Can you explain it scientifically?
उत्तर
Forests have large number of plants especially trees. Each plant loses water in the form of water vapour everyday into the atmosphere through transpiration. A large apple tree loses as much as 30 litres of water per day. So huge amount of water is escaped into the atmosphere by forests. This increases the moisture in the atmosphere and brings more frequent rains.
