Forest burning releases CO2 while decreasing oxygen, which disrupts cycles
|
|
|
Deforestation reduces the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, which depletes the ozone layer
|
|
|
Forest clearing is often followed by land development, which often leads to increased noise pollution
|
|
|
Deforestation increases the number of plant and animal species by destroying habitat

Detailed explanation-1: -Deforestation by burning has been described as a “double whammy” to the environment. Why is this description accurate? Forest burning releases CO2 while decreasing photosynthesis, which removes carbon. Coral bleaching occurs when the reef-building animals release beneficial algae that live in their skin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Trees absorb and store carbon dioxide. If forests are cleared, or even disturbed, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Forest loss and damage is the cause of around 10% of global warming. There’s simply no way we can fight the climate crisis if we don’t stop deforestation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The loss of trees changes the quality of soil which leads to soil erosion, fewer crop production and flooding. The biological cycles (Bio-geo chemical cycles) are altered because of deforestation. The amount of carbon di oxide increases in the earth which leads to global warming.
Detailed explanation-4: -Deforestation is the process in which large areas of forest lands are cleared for various human activities. Deforestation has many negative effects on our environment, like loss of habitat for animals and climate change.
