Question

Due to rapid urbanisation, we are clearing off the forests. Which of the following things get disturbed in this process?

• A. Food chain
• B. Oxygen-carbon dioxide balance in air
• C. Water table
• D. Human population

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A Food chain
B Oxygen-carbon dioxide balance in air
C Water table

Forests maintain oxygen-carbon dioxide balance by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. They play an important role in maintaining water table. Trees are also primary producers. They maintain the flow of food chain. Deforestation affects all these things.
