Why does deforestation increase the danger of floods?
Answer ↘️
The roots in the trees are able to strengthen the soil and prevent erosion. They also absorb some of the water. When the roots are gone from trees after deforestation, there's nothing to strengthen the soil anymore. Hence, the soil slide around and the water is able to build on the surface causing flooding.

Explanation:
When deforestation takes place, the top layer of soil can be dislodged – this is also known as soil erosion. When the top layer of soil is unstable, it is unable to retain any of the water that falls on it, resulting in increased surface run-off, which, in turn, increases the risk of flooding.
