Answer 2

The action of clearing a wide area of trees is known as deforestation.

•Agricultural expansion:
A combination of forces is responsible for deforestation and the biggest among them is agricultural expansion. Forests are being cleared on an alarming rate due to rising global demand of food grain and the commodities like soybeans and palm oil. Since the beginning of agriculture, there has been a mass reduction in the forests worldwide for agricultural expansion.

•Increasing Urbanisation and Industrialization:
For the purpose of development work the cutting of trees has been going on for years. Increased urbanisation is one of the major causes of deforestation. To meet residential and industrial requirements, such as for the development of housing on a mass scale besides, construction of roads, mineral exploitation and industrial expansion, forests are being cleared on a large scale.
