Deforestation began because native people needed flat land to farm on (for agriculture), so they cut down/burned the rainforest and planted crops in its place. However, rainforest soil is actually very infertile, and once they'd stayed for 1-5 years, they had to leave and rip down the forest all over again in a different area because the soil in the first area no longer sustained the crops.
While this takes place in developing areas mostly, some logger companies from or working for more developed nations cut down the trees for the wood to make raw wood/planks for furniture and all forms of paper (including the stuff you use at school and toilet paper.)
By the way, deforestation is still occurring today.

Is deforestation a natural process?
Deforestation can occur as a natural process, such as through natural events like wildfires or disease outbreaks. However, human activities, such as logging and clearing land for agriculture, have significantly accelerated deforestation rates around the world.
Is deforestation a physical change?
Deforestation is primarily a chemical change. It involves the removal of trees from a forested area, which alters the composition and structure of the ecosystem. The physical changes that may occur, such as the exposure of soil or changes in temperature, are secondary effects of deforestation.

What changes occur as deforestation increases along the amazon'?
Industrial pollution and runoff increase. Ecosystems are damaged up and down the river. Farms replace forests.
Why is deforestation hard to reverse?
Deforestation is hard to reverse because it involves the destruction of complex ecosystems that can take decades or even centuries to regenerate. Once trees are cut down, soil erosion and loss of biodiversity can occur, making it difficult for the ecosystem to recover naturally without human intervention. Additionally, deforestation often results in economic activities that are hard to replace, such as agriculture or mining.
