Question

Which of these are not directly affected by deforestation?

• A. Difference in habitats
• B. Fish will not be able to grow
• C. Global Warming
• D. Number of trees

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Fish will not be able to grow

The destruction of natural forests due to cutting trees, making space for cattle grazing, mining, extraction of oil and population expansion is known as deforestation. It leads to forest habitat loss, loss of endemic species and other species that live in that particular region, leading to soil erosion. Deforestation worsens the climatic condition which leads to global warming. Growth of fish is not affected directly by the deforestation. However, global warming, which is one of the effects of deforestation, can effect the growth of fishes indirectly, in the long run.
