Answer 2

Answer:

The clearing of large patches of forest for ‘cultivation of crops’ may lead to Soil erosion.

Explanation:

This is because forests have long trees whose roots hold the soil and nutrients nicely. But as we cut the trees, the soil becomes free to move randomly. It leads to soil erosion.

Along with soil, the nutrients also move that decreases the soil fertility and makes the soil unusual for further cultivation of crops.
