Deforestation
Deforestation
Deforestation is when our forest and trees are cut which causes
climate change. Deforestation is bad for the environment and the planet.
It also can cause hurricanes,
tornados, fires, and floods and a lot more disasters
are caused by deforestation.
Did you know the amount of wood and paper we throw away each year is enough
to heat 50 million homes for 20 years. Also, 1 billion trees that are turned into paper
are thrown away every year in the U.S which is a huge amount of paper that was once trees
thrown away.
Keeping forests alive also helps stop floods and droughts. The death of
trees would release a lot of higher amounts of carbon dioxide
into the air and lower amounts of oxygen. Deforestation also forces
wildlife to move and find safer homes away from all the trees getting cut down.
The number of trees that are cut down is around 50,000 to 100,000 trees per square km which means each year 3.5 billion to 7 billion trees are cut down each year. That will cause a lot of wildlife deaths and makes more room to build factories.
In conclusion, deforestation causes a lot of disasters to cities and the
environment and that is why we should put an end to deforestation.

Why flooding causes destruction
Why flooding causes destruction
A flood is an overflow of water that takes over land that is usually dry. Floods are formed by storms, a dam breaks or when snow or ice melts. Some floods come in fast and don’t let people evacuate in time.
Other floods take days or even weeks to form which gives people time to evacuate but they are still dangerous. A flood can move at 9 feet per second. If you want to stay safe, move to the highest ground possible.
A common speed for flash floods can move rocks that weigh almost a hundred kgs. Flash floods carry a lot of cars, rocks and other stuff that adds more damage to structures and injures people.
Flash flooding can last for at least a week or more. Flooding along rivers is a natural disaster. Where Do Floods Happen? Rivers and coastal areas are the most places for flooding.
It is possible for flooding in areas with unusually long days of heavy rain. Bangladesh is the most flooded area in the world. It is well known that flood is the part of the natural cycle
In conclusion, floods can be very dangerous but good for the environment at the same time.
