Answer:

  1. Reduction of amount of oxygen in the place being affected by deforestation.
  2. Noise pollution if there are no trees near roads as trees absorb/reduce the sound.
  3. Soil erosion-as the roots of trees hold the soil in place.
  4. Loss of habitat for animals and birds.
  5. Disruption in water cycle as trees contribute to rain through transpiration.
  6. It causes an imbalance in nature and messes with the natural equilibrium.

Hope its enough.(Can you mark it as brainliest if you find it worthy?)

Answer:

Deforestation alters not only nearby ecosystems -- communities of interacting organisms and their environments -- but also the atmosphere on a global level, with devastating results.

Explanation:

Soils (and the nutrients in them) are exposed to the sun’s heat. Soil moisture is dried up, nutrients evaporate and bacteria that help break down organic matter are affected. Eventually, rain washes down the soil surfaces and erosion take place. Soils never get their full potential back.

When forests are destroyed, the atmosphere, water bodies, and the water table are all affected. Trees absorb and retain water in their roots. A large part of the water that circulates in the ecosystem of rainforests remains inside the plants. Some of this moisture is transpired into the atmosphere. When this process is broken, the atmosphere and water bodies begin to dry out. The watershed potential is compromised and less water will run through the rivers. Smaller lakes and streams that take water from these larger water bodies dries up.

Many wonderful species of plants and animals have been lost, and many others remain endangered. More than 80% of the world's species remain in the Tropical Rainforest. It is estimated that about 50 to 100 species of animals are being lost each day as a result of the destruction of their habitats, and that is a tragedy.
