Did you know that war does not only kill people it also? It destroys many habitats and wild life. oil spills are a affect on the ocean because the troops need fuel and fuel produces harmful toxins that release in the air. This results in depleting the ozone layer. The oil spills kill a lot of sea life and creatures. These paragraphs are going to show you how war kills so many things. There is going to be paragraphs the war harms rain forest, how bombs affect the environment, how war is good for the environment, and reforestation.

How does war harm the Rain forests? War harms the rain forest by lowering the native population, burning the forests, and chemical herbicide. Many air strikes and bombing lowers the population by killing the Natives. Many natives are willing to fight back for there land resulting in more destruction of the abode. Many Napalm strikes, during Vietnam many forests were burned to the ground from several bombing raids. During World War, 2 Japan was bombed with the atom bomb, which destroyed a lot of japan and its rain forests.

How does bombs affect the environment? Bombs affect a lot of things such as the little particles in the ground that you don't see. Those little particles that you don't see are called radioactive particles. When the bombs hit the ground it releases a huge amount of energy relative to conventional explosives. There would be no significant sign of people, there may be remains of rubble. The shock and Awe of most bombs is going to release chemicals that slow kill the ozone layer and many humans. Any living life form however, is seized to exist when the bomb triggers. The environment is no match for any bomb.

How does war Benefit the environment? Believe it or not sometimes war can help the environment! One thing bombs and fire does is burn down the plants, which sounds bad. In some cases it is good because of re-forestation. Re-forestation is when the forests are burned down and grow back. This is good because many trees grow very tall and block sunlight from the plants on the ground. This way plants start at the same pace and grow rapidly. This prevents Over-forestation which is bad because it grows too dense and animals can't live and feed in the small space. Many Scientists believe that re-forestation is very good for the environment, because it lets the forest get a second chance to grow. War benefits the environment by re-forestation.

How do animals survive during wars? Most animals hide when they hear gunshots. Knowing that, may animals hide during wars. Many animals try to defend themselves and their environment. The soldiers can either kill or be killed by the animal. This majorly decreases the animal population during wars. Animals are constantly alert, because of the constant fighting. Which makes them loose many hours of sleep. Which can lead too many problems. This is not good because then they get too tired to eat and they starve to death because of their fear of the soldiers.

How does tanks and vehicles destroy the ozone layer? Vehicles are a very good way to win a war, but they destroy the ozone layer. The gasses that comes out of the vehicles tear apart the ozone layer everytime they fire a tank or drive a jeep. The Ozone layer is a very important part of the environment. When to much exhaust gets dispersed in the air it is not healthy for humans and animals to breathe. Your lungs will tighten due to the harmful gasses. Wars often use millions of gallons of fuel to provide many war machines that the military uses. The harmful gases that are released into the air destroy the ozone layer. War is very costly and is an environmental threat.
