Question

What will happen if,
A. We go on cutting trees
B. The habitat of an animal is disturbed
C. The top layer of soil is exposed

Answer 1

Hint: Cutting of trees is known as deforestation, which destroys nature and the habitat of the animals is devastated. This brings about a lot of imbalance in the biosphere and the natural flora and fauna. The removal of the topmost layer of the soil is known as soil erosion. It can occur due to various reasons but is very fatal for the environment.

Complete answer:
A natural imbalance is the main outcome of all the activities mentioned above.
A. If we go on cutting down trees, the entire forested area will be deforested. Not only animals but humans as well will get affected.
-Plants utilize carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to make oxygen which is necessary for humans and animals to breathe. We take in oxygen and carbon dioxide is given out. If plants are not there, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will increase considerably leading to elevated temperatures. High temperatures are not suitable for life to survive on the planet.
-Trees are the habitat of all flora and fauna. Cutting them can cause loss of habitat and no place for them to live and survive.
-Trees anchor the ground firmly with the help of their roots. The topmost soil will get eroded if trees are not there and the area will be converted to a barren land with no life.

B. If the habitat of an animal is destroyed, there will be no place for them to live.
-Species who can survive only in one particular region or condition can get extinct. This will result in a disturbance in the food chain.
-The destruction of animal habitats can drift the animals towards the cities and other places where the lives of humans can be threatened.

C. If the top layer of the soil is removed, the fertility of the soil will get depleted. This will affect crop production and the increase in population can result in starvation.
-Cutting of trees automatically results in soil erosion because the roots hold the soil firmly.
-Continuous erosion makes the land barren and infertile.

Note: We are blessed to have so many environmental sources from the environment but keeping them safe and using them properly and effectively is also our responsibility. Exploiting natural resources can lead to serious disaster which affects the lives of all living beings. Natural resources must be preserved not only for our future but for the proper balance of nature and human beings.
