Deforestation may Reduce the Chances of (A) Frequent Landslides (B) Rainfall (C) Frequent Cyclones (D) Erosion of Surface Soil

Answer: Rainfall

Deforestation is the clearing of vast land of pieces full of trees. The primary causes of deforestation are Agricultural Activities, Urbanization, Mining, Livestock Ranching and Illegal Logging. 

Deforestation leads to many problems like flooding, climate change, reduced rainfall, etc.

  • Deforestation reduces rainfall by reducing the natural regeneration of moisture from the soil

  • This moisture regeneration takes place through foliage and pays back to nature in the form of Rainfall

  • According to surveys, when grazing lands replace woodlands, water reclamation gets affected, reducing dampness in the environment and affecting precipitation

Thus, these are the few points that indicate that Deforestation may reduce the chances of rain.
