Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Trees are cut down for timber, waiting to be transported and sold. Deforestation is the purposeful clearing of forested land. Throughout history and into modern times, forests have been razed to make space for agriculture and animal grazing, and to obtain wood for fuel, manufacturing, and construction.
