Can large scale cutting down of forests have an effect on rainfall in the area Give reasons?
Yes, large-scale deforestation can significantly affect local rainfall patterns. Trees play a crucial role in the water cycle by absorbing and releasing moisture through a process called transpiration, which contributes to cloud formation and precipitation. When forests are cut down, this moisture is diminished, leading to reduced rainfall and potentially altering regional climates. Additionally, the loss of vegetation can increase soil erosion and decrease the land's ability to retain water, further exacerbating the impact on local weather patterns.
