Solution
The correct option is C All of these
Forests naturally absorb water
from rainfall and slowly release the water into the rivers. After
deforestation, rainfall flows too quickly to the rivers, stripping the topsoil
and causing erosion and flooding to occur. When these floods break the river's
banks, further problems arise as the path of the river changes and further soil
erosion occurs along the river's new path. Deforestation also makes an area
more arid, contributing to droughts.
