Discuss the effects of deforestation on the following. Environment.
✓
Answer
Effects of deforestation on the environment: Plants absorb $CO_2$ from the atmosphere to perform photosynthesis. If plants are destroyed, then the level of $CO_2$ in the atmosphere will rise. As a result, $CO_2$ will trap more heat radiations, thereby adding to global warming. An increase in the temperature of the Earth will disturb the natural water cycle. As a result, there will be a change in the rainfall pattern. This could lead to floods or droughts.
