Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Forests play a crucial role in influencing climate, water cycle and air quality. They help in:
-
Climate regulation: Forests absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, playing a vital role in reducing the impact of climate change.
-
Water cycle: Forests contribute to the water cycle by absorbing and releasing water through transpiration, which influences rainfall and groundwater levels.
-
Air quality: Trees act as natural air filters by absorbing pollutants and improving air quality.
Thus, forests have a significant impact on all these environmental factors.
