Question

What happens if forest disappears?

• A. Climate change
• B. Flood
• C. Soil erosion
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

• Deforestation(disappearance of the forest) 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. Hence results in an increase in temperature. Thus deforestation leads to climate change.
• Without trees, rain runs off soil into rivers and streams i.e soil erosion, raising the water level which leads to floods. Hence deforestation results in the flood.

• Hence Climate change, Flood and Soil erosion happens if forest disappears.

So, the correct answer is 'All the above'.
