Deforestation is the removal or cutting the trees from the forest land.
There are numerous consequences that are caused by deforestation.
Consequences:
Deforestation results in the direct exposure of soil to heat and rain, and hence the quality of soil gets affected.
It causes the shortage of wood and food that are brought from the trees.
It leads to global warming (increase in temperature) due to an increase in Carbon-dioxide, because the number of trees that absorb Carbon-dioxide becomes less.
It leads to soil erosion and makes the land infertile.
It causes floods which will damage the properties of livelihood.
It causes a decrease in rainfall.
It leads to the extinction of a variety of wild animals.
The consequences of deforestation include the shortage of wood and food, global warming, soil erosion, flood, less rainfall, extinction of wild animals etc.
