Solution

The correct options are
A Soil erosion
B Loss of habitat
D Death of wild animals
Forest fires can have severe long-term effects.
  • Forest fire leads to the loss of life of plants and animal life. Forests provide shelter to animals. Thus, the destruction of the forests leads to the loss of their habitat.
  • Upon removal of trees, the soil can't be held strongly and erodes along with air and water.
  • Soil erosion results in the removal of the topsoil. Hence, the soil is less fertile.
