How does deforestation cause water pollution?
Deforestation causes water pollution because when there are no trees left to block the rain fall the rain falls directly on to the soil and washes it in to the rivers, which take it on to the seas and oceans. The soil may contain chemicals that pollute the water.

What is the difference between desertification and deforestation?
Deforestation is the destruction of a forest, but when the forest is gone, the land does not necessarily become a desert; it is more likely to become a grassland or savanna. If land does become a desert, then it has undergone desertification.
What are the advantages of using native timber?
Native timber helps save the environment....GO GREEN!!!!! Did you know that if all the houses in the UK had been built with solid timber then we would have put 200 tonnes less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?!? That's something to think about!!!
How does the expansion of accommodation cause deforestation?
The expansion of accommodations cause deforestation. Trees and other things on the land must be destroyed to make room for houses, hotels, and other things.
What plants went extinct of deforestation?
when if the plants went extinct of deforesation will be no life on earth
Why is winter the best time to cut lumber?
The main reason lumber is primarily cut in the winter is that the ground is frozen, which allows access for heavy logging equipment with limited damage to the soil. Also, winter cut logs have tight bark, which is an advantage to protect against bug infestation for logs that sit a long time before processing, but with cold weather and since sap is not running, bugs are usually a minimal threat. Tight bark remaining on the edges of boards can be a design attribute for plank style lumber, however, usually the logs are debarked as a matter of course.
What does the phrase 'timber from sustainable woodland' mean?
It means that timber is harvested from trees which are replaced and does not contribute to deforestation.
Measures to conserve forest and wildlife?
The conservation of forest and wildlife is essential to sustain life on earth. Some methods of conservation are: plant more trees, stringent rules and heavy penalties for illegal cutters and poachers and raising awareness.
Do wolves die of deforestation?
Wolves are adaptable and don't necessarily require forests to live. However, their prey may depend on forests to survive, in which case, the wolves would ultimately fall victim to deforestation.
Why are trees and bushes cut down every ten years in Bluebell Woods?
They are cut down every ten years to rejuvenate the forest.
How many trees make a brown paper bag?
You will only need one tree to make a brown paper bag. Just one tree will make several paper bags.
A Dutch Pirate was presumed to have brought slaves into the Americas. The Dutch also ceded New Netherlands(New York) to the local inhabitants at the time(the British colonist).

When is the government doing to stop deforestation in Argentina?
The Atlantic Forest of South America---one of the most endangered rainforests in the world---is finally gaining more protection. Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay announced a joint plan at the World Forest Congress to create protected zones in the forest as part of an effort to stop deforestation by 2020. The three governments are hoping to achieve "net zero deforestation", which means the total amount of forest land will be stable by that year.
So to dumb it up:
2020
Where does deforestation take place most on earth and why?
Most Deforestation takes place in Africa, Indonesia, china and all those kind of places. The deforestation happens here because that is where many products are made. Things like palm oil is made in these places and they cut down forests to give people space to make palm plant farms. They also get extra money by selling the tree logs to paper companies. Best not to buy these products and NEVER recommend deforestation. Many animals get extincted from Deforestation
What is needs or importance of deforestarion?
deforestation needs people places and animals to destroy :(
What human activities have caused destruction of the Amazon rainforest?
Chopping down trees, hunting animals, and more!
Pollution, mining, farming, and logging (cutting down trees) have all helped to cause the destruction of the Amazon rainforest.
The Amazon Rainforest has been subject to widespread deforestation over a prolonged period of time and it is important to recognize that this process is not one which simply mirrors modern capitalist use of the forest resource - although this is an extremely important aspect of Amazonian deforestation.
Subsistence agriculture is attributable to 33% of deforestation in the Amazon through a process of "slash-and-burn" agriculture. This process is one which has traditionally been used by those indigenous peoples of the region and can operate in equilibrium with a sparsely populated rainforest biome which suffers extremely low exploitation. This process sees land which has been burned take a period of 20-100 years to recover and therefore, alongside rising population in indigenous tribes, agricultural activities have seen increased deforestation.
After the 1970's oil crisis nation states such as Brazil saw their loans default, and were left in a position of debt to the Global North. This and a desire to remove dependence of foreign energy resources saw the Brazilian government extend its reach into the Amazon Rainforest to develop HEP (Hydro-Electic Power) stations while also converting large tracts of land into agricultural areas in order to grow export goods for the world market. These goods include (primarily) free range beef, soya, and oil palm, among others and have caused extremely large scale deforestation.
The Amazon rainforest is also subject to private activities of logging and oil drilling. These practices have seen private companies, often outside of the rule of law, exploit the forest for primary resources. These activities are facilitated by national projects of road development, indeed 80% of deforestation occurs within 50km of roads within this forest, without which the forest would remain inaccessible to all private entities.
It is important to recognise therefore that human activities are multifaceted and operate at a micro scale controlled and monitered in their nature and scope by macro scale processes (such as BsE in Europe calling for increased soya production to feed cattle and thus increasing deforestation to grow this resource). Concurrently the forest is destroyed by small scale agriculture though one must consider that demographic processes are not the main cause of deforestation and that it is the interests of large scale private companies that have caused the greatest degree of deforestation.
Contemporary destruction of the Amazon Rainforest will be led by the changes in regional and global climate. The projections for, particularly the South East of the forest, suggest that there could be anywhere up to a 20% reduction in precipitation by 2050. This figure may be magnified by the internal processes of the rainforest which see around 50% of rainfall recycled in a fully operational pristine forest - deforestation of this area may see a switch to another stable state in which the region becomes a Savannah biome causing widespread extinctions. To avoid this process it has been argued that around 70% of the original habitat rainforest biomes must be retained intact.
