What are the uses of deforestration?

Answer 1

Deforestation is permanently destroying forests to make the land available for other uses. Effects of this practice include fewer trees, plants becoming extinct, and animals becoming extinct. It also has an effect on the climate and is linked to global warming.

Answer 2

Deforestation has many negative effects:

1- erosion of soil

- the trees hold soil in place, without them, wind or water can wash it away

2-green house gases

- trees take in CO2 and put out oxygen, without them less oxygen is produced and more CO2 is in the atmosphere

3- Habitat loss

- trees are niches for many animals, without them, they could loose there food source, or there home. When one animal goes extinct it has a chain reaction and can cause the deaths of animals higher on the food chain.

Answer 3

Deforestation is often done to clear land for agriculture, urban development, or logging. However, it also leads to environmental problems like loss of biodiversity, disruption of ecosystems, and contribution to climate change.

Answer 4

In South America, it is used to create new farmland. Due to the misuse of existing farmland, farmers are constantly seeking new farmland. This is really not an environmentally sound practice.
