Question

Plants roots create holes and tunnels in the soil allowing infiltrations to happen more easily. However, if trees and plants are stripped way, the soil can become dry. What process will increase if trees and plants are absent in the area?

Answer 1

This question lacks options, but it can be answered based on general knowledge. The answer is SOIL EROSION

Step-by-step explanation:

Soil erosion is a process whereby the top layer of the soil gets washed away by certain agents including water (from excessive rainfall) and wind etc. According to this question, plants roots create holes and tunnels in the soil allowing infiltrations to happen more easily. This means that the presence of plants in a soil makes the soil permeable to water and air.

However, in the absence of any plant form on a soil; the soil become exposed directly to this agents, becomes less infiltrable due to low penetration by roots, becomes less compact and held together etc. All these occurrences promotes the process of SOIL EROSION to occur on such a soil more.
