What are the reasons for the frequent fires in the Amazon rainforest?

First of all, the Amazon rainforest has a tropical climate and is in a high temperature environment. Coupled with the increasingly serious greenhouse effect and serious human logging behavior, Amazon forest fires frequently appear.

Many people know the Amazon rainforest for the first time in junior high school geography textbooks. It covers a vast area and has the function of regulating the global climate. It's called. Lung of the earth? . Because of this, the Amazon rainforest has always been concerned, so anything that affects the change of Amazon rainforest area will cause worldwide discussion. Among them, forest fire is one of the important factors affecting Amazon rainforest.

In fact, there have been fires in the Amazon rainforest since its birth. With the development of human activities and civilization, the fire situation in Amazon rainforest is increasing gradually. Up to now, the number of Amazon forest fires has reached 70,000 to 80,000 every year, so the fire has become one of the important reasons that affect the Amazon forest area.

There are many reasons for forest fires, among which climate is the main reason. Amazon forest belongs to the tropical rainforest climate, and it is in a high temperature and rainy environment all the year round. Although the air is humid, it is inevitable that there will be high temperature and dryness. In a high temperature and dry environment, it is easy to brew a fire.

In addition, human activities have also had a serious impact on the Amazon forest. Such as deforestation and grazing. In the eyes of many people, these behaviors are just normal human activities, but many people will burn the remaining branches and leaves after cutting down trees. You should know that the Amazon forest is already very hot. If a little spark falls during the burning process, it may cause fires in other areas.

According to the statistics of relevant departments, the Amazon forest will be cut down by more than 2,000 square kilometers in just one month, knowing that more than 2,000 square kilometers is equivalent to the area of our county. This shows the seriousness of deforestation in the Amazon.

Finally, the improvement of human productivity, coupled with a large amount of carbon dioxide emitted from daily life, has led to the global greenhouse effect. This has not only had an impact on us human beings, but also brought indelible consequences to the Amazon rainforest. In this case of frequent high temperature, the self-regulation function of Amazon rainforest is insufficient, so problems such as fires appear frequently and more and more.
