Question

The loss of forest cover does not lead to which of the following?

• A. Increased groundwater levels
• B. Global warming
• C. Scarce or scanty rainfall
• D. Soil erosion and landslides

Answer 1

The correct option is A Increased groundwater levels

When there is a thick forest cover, the water after a good bout of rainfall, can percolate into the ground and increases the level of groundwater of that place. Moreover, the leaves of the trees also help in bringing more rain to the place through the process of transpiration.
