Question

Deforestation often occurs because of efforts to clear land for new farms. Describe a consequence of deforestation by discussing its effects on biodiversity, ecosystems, or the environment. How could we avoid this consequence?

Answer 1

Due to deforestation and human activity, many habitats and were destroyed (to make malls shopping centers etc.) When deforestation occurs many endagered species go extinct, rivers waterfalls and lakes become polluted, and animals are hurt and killed in the process.

Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

One consequence of deforestation is global warming.

Step-by-step explanation:

Global warming is increasing the Earth's average temperature and has been a cause for alarm and concern for scientists and environmentalists. The relationship between deforestation and global warming is direct. Once deforestation progresses, flora and fauna are affected and the planet loses some of its ability to perform the gaseous exchanges that are made by plants, which transform carbon dioxide into oxygen. This occurs along with other factors caused by man, such as pollution. As a result, temperatures increase gradually every year. To avoid this, governments must take action to curb illegal deforestation and air pollution. In other words, the process of economic development must become sustainable, that is, capable of evolving without destroying natural resources.
