Deforestation is the main cause of floods in the river.

Answer 2

c) Deforestation

Deforestation occurs where there are no or less trees and plants on the land.

Explanation-

• Deforestation are mostly done by man in order to fulfil their wants and greed of wood.
• This advances to frequent floods in the river.
• It happens due to the lost fertility of soil over time and the soil loses its water holding capacity.
• Presence of trees makes possible for the soil to have a high water-holding capacity and reduces the risk of floods in the river due to the heavy rainfall.
• Presence of the trees makes possible for the soil to hold water due to the roots of the plants and prevents mis-happenings like floods and surface run-off.
