Question 8
Explain how deforestation leads to reduced rainfall.

Open in App
Solution

Plants absorb water from the soil and evaporate it to form clouds. Deforestation leads to cutting down of trees. As a result, less water is absorbed from the soil and it disturbs the water cycle. The formation of clouds becomes difficult which leads to reduced rainfall.
