When forests are degraded, it can set off a devastating chain of events both locally and around the world. What is the effect of deforestation?
I. Loss of species.
II. Droughts conditions may prevail.
III. Soil properties increases
IV. Reduce global warming

The correct option is B I,II
70% of the world's plants and animals live in forests and are losing their habitats to deforestation. Loss of habitat can lead to species extinction. It also has negative consequences for medicinal research and local populations who rely on the animals and plants in the forests for hunting and medicine. Increase in temperature on earth might disturb the water cycle and may reduce rainfall. This could cause droughts. Soil properties of an area affected by deforestation are changed. It also causes soil erosion. Water holding capacity of the soil is reduced. Global warming is the rapid increase in the temperature levels on earth due to increase in the proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
