Solution

The felling of trees causes the following negative impacts on nature:
1. Soil erosion is increased.
2. Loose soil is deposited on river beds. Level of river beds rises and during excessive rains they are not capable of keeping the whole of water under control. Hence floods are caused.
3. Felling of trees also reduces the quantity of oxygen we get from them.
