Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A

Soil erosion

B

Landslides

If forest disappears many issues such as soil erosion, floods and landslides will arise. The forests act as rain water absorber, they replenish the ground water and help in maintaining the water cycle. The roots hold the soil and hence prevent soil erosion. The oxygen that we breathe in, is also given out by the trees. They take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. thus maintains oxygen-carbon dioxide balance in the atmosphere.
