Answer 2

Deforestation will decrease - (d) rainfall

Deforestation is the term which refers to removal of trees. It has huge amount of negative effect not only on soil, but also on climate and living organisms as well.

Soil holding capacity of the area reduces resulting in soil erosion and loss of soil fertility.

Forests may act as barrier in movement of large part of landmass, thus deforestation negatively affects landslides too.

Rainfall decreases in the deforestation area since evaporation of water from the leaves of trees does not take place due to latter's absence.
