Solution
The correct option is D All of the above
- Deforestation is when humans remove or clear large areas of forest lands and related ecosystems for non-forest use. These include clearing for farming purposes, ranching, and urban use. In these cases, trees are never re-planted.
- Plants absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When deforestation takes place it results in an increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere which results in global warming.
- Without trees, rain runs off soil into rivers and streams, raising the water level which leads to floods. Hence deforestation results in the flood.
- Deforestation also results in the extinction of flora and fauna(plants and animals).
- Hence The consequences of deforestation are Global warming, Flood and Extinction of flora and fauna.
- So, the correct answer is 'All the above'.
