Answer 2

b. Deforestation causes soil erosion.

• Soil erosion is the removal of the upper or topmost layer of the soil. This results in the degradation of soil quality.
• The degradation occurs because the topmost layer of soil is rich in organic compounds which are responsible for the fertility and production of soil.
• Soil erosion may occur due to wind or water. The land becomes unavailable for cultivation due to it.
