Question

What is the effect of deforestation​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When the forest trees are cut down,the percolation of rain water into soil is reduced. A lot of rain water from deforested soil rushes into the rivers quickly,causing floods. Deforestation decreases the water holding capacity of soil which leads to floods. The eroded soil is carried by flowing rain water into rivers.

Answer 2

Answer:

• => 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 global warming. Cutting 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
• Biodiversity Losses
• Floods
