Question

Deforestation causes soil erosion.
give reasons​

Answer 1

So cutting of trees causes soil erosion. ... Roots are cohesive and soil particles are also cohesive. As a result, roots can stabilise soil by preventing the soil being washed away by heavy rainfall and runoff into rivers. Furthermore, the plant or tree in this case needs water to perform its living processes.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Deforestation is the cutting down of trees for industrial and commercial purposes.

The roots of the trees bind the soil strongly and prevent it from washing away with wind or water.

Increasing deforestation has led to soil erosion because the soil particles have become loose and there are no roots to hold them. Thus they get washed away easily.
