Question

Deforestation leads to increase in pollution.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Deforestation is the cutting of trees in a forest to use the land for other purposes like agriculture, building houses, etc. As people move to cities they cut trees to build the shelter.
• Plants and trees perform the function of taking in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. As the number of plants and trees reduce the carbon dioxide in the air increases and this is a major pollutant, so cutting of trees (deforestation) is a cause of pollution.
