Construction of a house( ଏକ ଘର ନିର୍ମାଣ)
Furniture (ଆସବାବପତ୍ର)

Rainfall (ବର୍ଷା)

Answer:
Trees
Construction of a house (ଗୃହ ନିର୍ମାଣ ଉପରେ):
Wood is necessary for the construction of a house. Its use was more in making traditional houses in the recent past. It was used mainly as pillars and bars. Presently it is used mainly for making doors and windows. Its use has been reduced only because of its costliness and less availability. It is our duty to save trees.

Furniture (ଆସବାବପତ୍ର):
Wooden furniture has an all-time great demand. Even though they are expensive today people still go for it because their value is incomparable. We get wood from trees which are used in making sofa-set, cot, cupboard, almirah, wardrobe, chair and table, bench and desk, dining table, etc. Thus trees in the form of furniture give us comfort and luxury.

Rainfall (ବର୍ଷା):
Rainfall also depends on the trees. The leaves of the trees release huge quantities of water vapor into the atmosphere which helps in the formation of clouds. The areas, which have more trees, receive more rainfall. So we see heavy rainfall in forests. Deserts have scanty rainfall because there are no trees.

Temperature control (ତାପମାତ୍ରା ନିୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣ |):
Trees are our real friends. When we sit under a shady tree in the hot summer, we feel relaxed. When the temperature rises, it is the tree that comes to our rescue. Its branches and green leaves help to absorb the heat and do not allow it to reach us. The trees provide shade for the animals in the summer.

Soil erosion (ମୃତ୍ତିକା କ୍ଷୟ |):
Soil erosion has become a tough problem today. Recently soil erosion in coastal lines has created a panic. It happens largely due to the loss of trees. It is the tree roots that bind the soil tightly and does not allow the soil to erode away. Deforestation is a cause of soil erosion. Loss of soil has certain bad consequences which are to be avoided. Let us not cut trees to avoid an unpleasant situation ahead.

Deforestation (ଜଙ୍ଗଲ ନଷ୍ଟ):
Deforestation means cutting down trees in the forests. Presently we come across such activities all over the world. Mostly, deforestation is done for the establishment of factories and new colonies, towns, and offices. Due to this, we are losing large hectares of forest every year. It has certain evil effects like soil erosion, earthquake, flood, cyclone, scanty rainfall, and rise in temperature. The animals will be the worst sufferer of deforestation as they will lose their habitat and food. It is definitely a step toward destruction.

Afforestation (ବୃକ୍ଷରୋପଣ |):
Afforestation is the process of planting trees on bare land in order to create a forest. It has become a need today as we have lost most of our greenery. Deforestation has caused much damage to us. We are to continue afforestation to fill up the loss caused by deforestation. Afforestation can check soil erosion, flood, cyclone, earthquake, and many other disasters. Let’s join in this great work of afforestation to make the world a safe place for human habitation.
