Tropical forests provide a source of f (a) , such as fruits like bananas, mangoes, cucumber, eggplant, cashew nuts, nipah palm seeds, pepper and cinnamon.
Indigenous people also obtain food for survival through h (a) and gathering. They hunt for wild animals, fish, deer, wild birds for food.
Mangroves in some coastal areas have been converted into farms to rear fish, shellfish like prawns and clams, for sale to customers in towns and cities. This is known as a (a) .
Tropical / mangrove forests provide a source of raw materials such as w (a) .
Wood obtained from certain types of (a) trees (eg. teak, mahogany, rosewood) can be used to produce floorings, doors, furnitures and even musical instruments.
M (a) is the process through which metals and minerals are obtained from below ground. Metals and minerals such as iron and diamonds are valuable because they can be used to make pipes via copper and computer microchips via gold.
Visiting the tropical / mangrove forests has a positive effect on people's health. The natural sights, smells and sounds of the forest have a c (a) effect on people, which helps to give them a sense of well-being.
Define deforestation.
When land is being converted to mines.

All of the above
How does the greenhouse effect keep earth warm enough for life?
When sunlight enters the atmosphere and reaches the earth's surface.
When earth’s surface absorbs the light energy and warms up, releasing heat.
With greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, not all of the heat is able to escape into outer space, trapping heat and keeping earth warm.
When more heat is trapped, increasing earth's temperature.
Increased carbon dioxide may cause global warming by _________________________.
allowing more sunlight into the atmosphere.
reflecting more sunlight from clouds.
reducing the amount of oxygen in the air.
trapping more heat in the atmosphere.

Which of the following sentences does not describes tropical forest as carbon stores?
Rainforest and mangrove plants absorb oxygen from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.
Leaves, branches, stems and roots store absorbed carbon in solid form.
Dead leaves and branches that fall to the ground add carbon to the soil.
Mangroves are more effective at storing carbon as compared to rainforests as the soil is waterlogged and poor in oxygen, with few bacteria available to break down the carbon stored there.

They store carbon; up to 50 times more carbon than a rainforest.
The salt that they absorb makes the air around them cooler, which slows down global warming.
They provide a safe habitat for animals whose ecosystems have been destroyed by climate change.
