WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Deforestation also increases the chances of flooding of the rivers that lead to loss of life as well as property. Deforestation affects the water cycle, which results in a reduction of rainfall. It causes the extinction of wildlife present in the forests. It affects the earth’s climate.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Land clearing is the development of land with the intention of creating a potential use for agricultural purposes. Land clearing requires the removal of native cover – including trees, bushes and boulders – from the land surface. The land is subsequently broken to create a workable bed into which a crop can be seeded.

Detailed explanation-4: -Major climate change: Increase in temperature and pollution level. Desertification and soil erosion. Increase in the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Decrease in groundwater level. Loss of food and habitat of animals which leads to their extinction.
