How does deforestation reduce rainfall on the one hand and leads to floods on the other?
It causes floods because all the trees are gone, leaving a clear, easy to navigate path for which water can flow.

Explain how deforestation leads to reduce rainfall?
Deforestation leads to reduced amounts of rainfall because forests are a major source of water vapor and moisture which helps to create rain clouds. Having less trees means more carbon dioxide which means there is more carbon dioxide to trap heat and less rain clouds.
What leads to failure of crops?
Low rainfall or no rainfall leads to failure of crops .
How does building of new roads leads deforestation?
The clearing of Forrest and expiation of roads can lead to deforestation.
How can deforestation contribute to climate change?
Deforestation can contribute to climate change by reducing the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This leads to an increase in greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. Additionally, deforestation can disrupt local weather patterns and reduce biodiversity, further impacting the climate.
What are Four ways in which deforestation leads to an increase in the levels of greenhouse gases?
Growing trees remove the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, so deforestation means less CO2 is removed.Deforestation means that a lot of timber scraps are left to rot on the forest floor. Rotting timber releases either CO2 or methane, both greenhouse gases.Deforestation leaves large areas of land unprotected from floods and rainfall which can remove topsoil and small vegetation. This vegetation no longer removes CO2 from the air, but instead rots.
What leads to most flash floods?
Large amounts of rain.
Why are deforestation and overgrazing harmful to the land?
Deforestation and overgrazing are two common adverse effects of the human population on the environment. Deforestation and overgrazing leaves behind dry land and leads to desertification.
What are some factor that leads to deforestation?
The main one... human greed for wood !
Why deforestation of the rain forest has a positive effect on local community?
While deforestation of the rainforest may provide short-term economic benefits to local communities through increased land for agriculture or logging, the long-term consequences are overwhelmingly negative. Deforestation leads to loss of biodiversity, disruption of ecosystems, soil degradation, and increased vulnerability to natural disasters like floods and landslides. Ultimately, the negative impacts of deforestation far outweigh any short-term benefits for local communities.
What factor increase the risk of flooding?
Living below sea-level, I mean just look at New Orleans... High rainfall and like you said living below sea-level like Bangladesh they are 1m above sea-level. deforestation and urbanisation
Why is so difficult to stop deforestation?
Deforestation is difficult to control as trees are being cut down and thus we are cutting homes of animals & birds to fulfil our needs and it leads to many problems. It causes soil erosion, floods and landslides. There is very less oxygen in the air to breathe birds & animals homes are lost when forests are cut and thus trees should be planted more.
What is the English meaning of the Malayalam word minnal?
CLOUD BURST - is an extreme form of rainfall, highly concentrated, over a small area lasting for few hours. This leads to flash floods/ landslides, house collapse, dislocation of traffic and human casualties on large scale.
