Question

what is the role of deforestation in drought ​

Answer 1

Answer:

This reduces the infiltration of water into the ground, which causes floods. On the other hand, deforestation leads to higher level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which causes global warming. Scarcity of trees disturbs the water cycle and may reduce rainfall, leading to droughts.

Answer 2

Trees are a main reason for rain, it holds the clouds and soon it rains, when there are not trees due to deforestation, the capacity to hold on to the clouds is lost and there won't be any rain. Hence drought slowly starts and then becomes a big problem.
