Answer:
Disruption of the Water Cycle
Rain forests store vast quantities of water, and when those trees are cut down, the water they store is lost. As trees and plants are responsible for extracting groundwater from the soil and returning it the atmosphere, deforestation results in the water not being able to be released back into the atmosphere, affecting the balance of the water cycle. This results in lush rainforests turning into barren deserts (Desertification), leading to dry climates, which affects livings conditions.
