Question

Write any one ill-effect of Deforestation.

Answer 1

Hint:Deforestation is the removal of trees and plants from forests permanently to make space for agricultural land or this space can also be used for the construction of buildings or industries and different urban uses..

Complete answer:
There are numerous ill effects of deforestation like climate change, soil erosion, global warming, desertification, and much more.

1.Global warming: Trees are known to absorb carbon dioxide then release oxygen in the atmosphere so when trees are cut down indirectly oxygen content in the atmosphere becomes low and the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere becomes high which leads to global warming.

2.Soil Erosion: Cutting down trees exposes the soil directly to sunlight which causes drying up of soil and this soil can be easily washed off by rainwater causing soil erosion.

3.Habitat loss: Many plants and animals live in forests and the trees are shelter to many birds, Deforestation causes temperature change in these organisms which can lead to loss of these organisms. Hence habitat loss is also one of the major effects of deforestation.

4.Low Agricultural yield: Due to drying up of soil and desertification, the plants cannot be grown in this soil which causes low agricultural yield.
-There is not just one but so many ill effects of deforestation.

Additional information:
-The major deforestation occurs in Indonesia and islands of Borneo, The reason for deforestation here is excessive cultivation of palm oils.
-Amazon rainforest which is also known to be the lungs of the planet is also facing major deforestation due to industrial processes.

Note:It is very important to understand the effects of deforestation, identify the causes causing deforestation and then finding solutions for reducing deforestation by creating awareness among the people and by planting more and more trees and taking strict actions against those causing deforestation.
