Explanation:

WILD ANIMALS:- Habitat loss. Deforestation can lead to a direct loss of wildlife habitat as well as a general degradation of their habitat.

Changing climate. Trees play a vital role in controlling climate. One acre of rainforest can absorb and store up to 200 tons of carbon dioxide.

Higher risk of wildfires and droughts. Deforestation may reduce the remaining forest area’s resilience to threats such as wildfires.

ENVIRONMENT:- Deforestation not only affects the climate by increasing the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide but also affects the environment by inhibiting water recycling, triggering severe flooding, aquifer depletion, soil degradation and the extinction of plant and animal species.

THE NEXT GENERATION:- Deforestation has affected our climate very much.

Many species are at the verge of extinction because of deforestation and some species are already extinct.

The next generation may not be able to see many beautiful and attractive fauna and flora. It may have to suffer from the...

SOIL:- The soil will get infertile and the level of oxygen and other compounds gets disturbed and causes soil erosion too...

WHAT IS DESERTIFICATION:- Desertification is a type of land degradation in drylands in which biological productivity is lost due to natural processes or induced by human activities whereby fertile areas become increasingly arid. It is the spread of arid areas caused by a variety of factors, such as climate change (particularly the current global warming) and overexploitation of soil as a result of human activity.

Answer 2

Answer:

3. Effects of deforestation :

a. Wild animals :

• The natural habitat of the animals are destroyed by deforestation.

• Without the natural habitat the animals are left with no place to live and breed. As a result of this, many animals are at the verge of extinction.

b. Environment :

• Deforestation has resulted in Global warming.

• Carbon dioxide is not absorbed by plants and it gets accumulated in the atmosphere.

• It has an adverse effect on our ecosystem.

c. The next generation :

• Deforestation has affected our climate very much.

• Many species are at the verge of extinction because of deforestation and some species are already extinct.

• The next generation may not be able to see many beautiful and attractive fauna and flora. It may have to suffer from the effects of global warming, no fuel and no paper etc.

d. Soil :

The soil will get infertile and the level of oxygen and other compounds gets disturbed and causes soil erosion too.

4. Desertification :

Desertification is the degradation process by which a fertile land changes itself into a desert by losing its flora and fauna, this can be caused by drought, deforestation, climate change, human activities or improper agriculture. Desertification is a process of degradation of the land. It occurs because of man-made activities and climate change. Desertification takes place when a particular type of biome converts into a desert biome.
