A cup of TEA - Diary in memory of the forest.
Research: #3 - Best friends...
Date: 19. January 2008.

The trees are our best friends, or said in another way. We will not survive without oxygen, and trees are along with other plants the producers of oxygen. They do also store big amounts of CO2. And the big forest also has a big effect on how the weather is. The big rain forests both holds on water and create clouds. Just think what happens to a place where the rain forest has been cut down, it turns into a try land within few years. The rain forest in Africa do create some of the clouds that later become the rain and also big storms in America. So when there is less of the Amazon, it is also less areas where the rain will stop. So it looks like that is part of the reason why we see more big storms coming to the US. If you not believe that rain forest may be part of the change in weather, then think about the name "Rain forest".

How it works with the rain forest: Trough the day heat from the sun makes water in the forest into fog. When you have a hot air in a area, then some of the fog turns into clouds that goes into the air-stream where it follows it over the sea and built up to big clouds before it hits land on the other side.
