Forests play an important role in the hydrologic cycle by:

C)recycling 75% of precipitation to the atmosphere by transpiration and evaporation.
D)removing large amounts of carbon monoxide from the atmosphere.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Forests contribute significantly to the hydrologic cycle primarily through the process of transpiration (where plants release water vapor from their leaves into the atmosphere) and evaporation (where water turns into vapor and mixes with the air). Combined, these processes recycle a substantial portion of precipitation back into the atmosphere, helping to regulate climate and water cycles.
