Hey mate !!!!
To make your answer even more longer and presentable, you can add defination of deforestation and also the causes and solution. This will make your answer full- fleshed and no teacher can cut your marks.
Because in Social Science, the bigger the better But make sure to Highlight the important key words. So that teacher can go through the important ones and be happy with the length
:D
Environmental Changes
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Gases such as methane and carbon dioxide trap heat in Earth’s atmosphere, leading change in climate. Trees absorb the carbon dioxide and release oxygen and water into the atmosphere and this contributes to the global warming. Carbon dioxide adds to the environment and then this lack of the tree creates an absorption deficit. Deforestation leads to the emission of greenhouse gas.
Soil Erosion
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. Large amounts of soil wash into local streams and rivers and cause damage to hydroelectric structures and irrigation infrastructure.
Biodiversity Losses
Deforestation alters land and so that many of the plants and animals do not survive. With more deforestation, the entire species can extinct. This is the ‘biodiversity loss’. Many wonderful species of plants and animals have been lost, and many others remain endangered. As each species of an ecosystem rely upon other species, loss of one species can have far-reaching consequences for other species.
Floods
Deforestation leads to land erosion because the trees maintain the surface of the mountains. The water level of the rivers increases suddenly, causing floods. When it rains, trees absorb and store a large amount of water with the help of their roots. Chopping down of trees disrupts the flow of water and leads to floods in some areas.
ECONOMIC CHANGES
• The forest products industry is a large part of the economy in both developed and developing countries. Short-term economic gains made by conversion of forest to agriculture, or over-exploitation of wood products, typically leads to a loss of long-term income and long-term biological productivity. West Africa, Madagascar, Southeast Asia and many other regions have experienced lower revenue because of declining timber harvests. Illegal logging causes billions of dollars of losses to national economies annually.
•As our human population grows, new homes, communities, and expansions of cities will occur. Connecting all of the new expansions will be roads, a very important part in our daily life. Rural roads promote economic development but also facilitate deforestation. About 90% of the deforestation has occurred within 100 km of roads in most parts of the Amazon. The European Union is one of the largest importer of products made from illegal deforestation.
•The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity project estimates that the loss of biodiversity through deforestation will cost $4.5 trillion each year. For example, half of all pharmaceuticals comes from genetic resources.
•Deforestation disturbs the stabilizing effects of the Amazon's water cycle. The result is intermittent droughts and floods. The Amazon region had severe droughts in 2005, 2010 and 2015-16. It had severe floods in 2009, 2012, and 2014. Scientists believe these were the first signs of destabilization.
Hope you've found it informative and quite long :)
