If all the trees were cut down in a large area how would this affect the water cycle?
the water in the water cycle will still remain the same amount, there just won't be any transpiration from trees. Evaporation will have to occur from bodies of water within the area instead.

If a resource, such as trees, are cut down and used faster than they can re-grow, can they be called a renewable resource? Explain your answer.
No, it cannot be called a renewable resource. this is because we are using the material at a faster rate than we can replace it.
