Question

How does deforestation cause depletion of forest area​

Answer 1

the cutting down of more and more trees where they are less in number

Answer 2

Cutting down on trees leads to clearance of forests and so soil erosion occurs. Exposure of the soil to the sun’s heat dries up the moisture inside the soil. Nutrients evaporate and it affects the bacteria that help to break down organic matter. Due to this, rain washes the soil surfaces and erosion takes place.
