Question

Give reasons i) Deforestation is main cause of soil erosion.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The loss of trees, which anchor the soil with their roots, causes widespread erosion throughout the tropics. ... After heavy tropical rains fall on cleared forest lands, the run-off carries soil into local creeks and rivers. The rivers carry the eroded soils downstream, causing significant problems

Answer 2

Explanation:

Deforestation. Deforestation is a major cause of soil erosion, perhaps the main cause. Trees and their roots provide the soil with an anchor, as well as shelter from the wind and rain. When forests are wiped out, the land becomes exposed, leaving it vulnerable to being washed or blown away by elements.
