Answer:
Erosion prevention
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the reasons why deforestation is occurring is not related in any way to the process of erosion prevention.
- Erosion is the washing way of the top layer of the earth.
- When deforestation occurs, it enhances erosion of the soil it covers.
- Over grazing by livestock and clearing of space for animal rearing can lead to removal of forest.
- Clearing of farmlands for farming activities can lead to deforestation.
- Land development for other use can also lead to deforestation.
