Answer 2

$\textbf{ DEFORESTATION–}$

Deforestation is the cutting down of Trees.
Increasing population and spiraling demands for lands has led to rapid deforestation all over the world. Forests are primarily cut down to clear land for agriculture, for putting up industries, and for laying roads and railways. People also cut down trees for firewood and for the manufacture of Paper and synthetic fibres.

Deforestation has resulted in soil erosion on a massive scale. With no trees to hold the soil in place, rain takes away the fertile topsoil from the land, leaving It leached and devoid of nutrients. The rain water runs off the surface of the land so rapidly that It is unable to seep into the ground. This results in the lowering of the water table in the area. If there are dams in the area, they get silted up rapidly, as there are No roots to hold the soil together and prevent erosion.

Deforestation also destroys the wildlife of the area. Animals are forced out into the open and end up being easy targets for poachers and hunters. They also start attacking human habitations in search of food.
