Question
Give the names of four important products of forests. Why are forests grown in and around iron and steel cities?
Solution
Wood pulp, paper, medicines, paints and varnishes.
Forests moderate the climate by absorbing much of the sun’s insolation and by supplying water vapour which further condenses to impart rain. This contributes towards cooling the hot environment of iron and steel cities.
