Question

how does deforestation reduce rainfall on the one hand and lead to floods on the other

Answer 1

Hey there ❤❤

here's ua answer :

Increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to deforestation leads to global warming, as carbondioxide traps the heat rays reflected by the earth. The increase in temperature on the earth disturbs the water-cycle and reduces rainfall.Further, deforestation leads to decrease in the water holding capacity of the soil. So, the movement of water from the soil surface into the ground is reduced which brings the flood.So,deforestation reduce rainfall on the one hand and lead to floods on the other.

hope it helps you

Answer 2

• due to excess cutting of trees less transpiration takes place and hence less rainfall takes place
• it leads to flood as trees bind the soil which absorbs the water but after deforestation soil are loose and hence their water holding capacity becomes less
