  3. Transpiration

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Transpiration is the process by which plants loose water through their leaves in the atmosphere.

Which of the following contributes the most towards deforestation?

evs let's plant trees damaging the forests deforestation and afforestation protecting our environment pollution of soil degradation of land

  1. Logging

  2. Commercial agriculture

  3. Subsistence farming

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Subsistence farming is responsible for $48$% of deforestation; Commercial agriculture is responsible for $32$%; logging is responsible for $14$%, and fuel wood removals make up $5$%.

The results of deforestation is/are:

evs let's plant trees damaging the forests deforestation and afforestation protecting our environment pollution of soil degradation of land

  1. the reduction in water content of the soil

  2. the increase in water content of the soil

  3. drier climate

  4. increases moisure content of air

Show answer
Correct Option: A,C
Explanation:

The water cycle is affected by deforestation.Trees extract groundwater through their roots and release it into the atmosphere. When part of a forest is removed, the trees no longer transpire this water, resulting in a much drier climate.Deforestation reduces the content of water in the soil and groundwater as well as atmospheric moisture. The dry soil leads to lower water intake for the trees to extract.Deforestation reduces soil cohesion, so that erosion,flooding and landslides ensue.

If deforestation is done in large scale, this natural calamity may occur

evs let's plant trees damaging the forests deforestation and afforestation protecting our environment pollution of soil degradation of land

  1. Volcanic eruption

  2. Earthquakes

  3. Global warming

  4. Tsunamis

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

If deforestation is performed, there will be no trees so, the amount of the greenhouse gasses will increase in the atmosphere. These greenhouse gasses trap heat from the infrared radiation in the atmosphere and increases the atmosphere's temperature i.e, global warming. 

Thus, the correct answer is option C. 

Deforestation does not lead to

evs let's plant trees damaging the forests deforestation and afforestation protecting our environment pollution of soil degradation of land

  1. Quick nutrient cycling

  2. Soil erosion

  3. Alteration of local weather conditions

  4. Destruction of natural habitat of wild animals

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Deforestation leads to soil erosion, alteration of local weather conditions, destruction of natural habitat of wild animals, but it does not lead quick nutrient cycling

So, the correct answer is 'Quick nutrient cycling'

The term 'Phytoremediation' refers to the _________________.

What is the importance of forest as a resource?

evs let's plant trees damaging the forests deforestation and afforestation protecting our environment pollution of soil degradation of land

  1. It improves water holding capacity of soil.

  2. It provides habitat, food, protection to wild life.

  3. It help in balancing $CO _{2}$ and $O _{2}$ of atmosphere.

  4. All of the above.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Forests and biodiversity is key to all life forms. The richer the diversity of life, the greater the opportunity for medical discoveries, economic development and adaptive responses to such new challenges as climate change.
Forests are renewable resources which provide
(a) Habitat, food, protection to wildlife.
(b) Help in balancing CO$ _2$ and O$ _2$ of atmosphere.
(c) Improves water holding capacity of soil.
(d) Regulates water cycle.
(e) For human being, they are the source for all essential commodities like, fuel wood, timber pulp and paper etc.
(f) It provides useful products like fruits, resins, gums, essential oils, bidi wrapper etc. 
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

What is not useful to increase agriculture production?

evs let's plant trees damaging the forests deforestation and afforestation protecting our environment pollution of soil degradation of land

  1. Mechanisation of agriculture

  2. Enhanced irrigation facilities

  3. Use of fertilizers

  4. Deforestation

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Deforestation is the excessive cutting down of the trees which adversely affects the environment. It is not useful for increasing the agricultural production as because it creates several major problems like soil erosin, infertility, and droughts.

What are the advantages of reforestation?

evs let's plant trees damaging the forests deforestation and afforestation protecting our environment pollution of soil degradation of land

  1. It helps to reduce the concentration of CO$ _2$ in the environment.

  2. It has the potential to preserve endangered species.

  3. It can reverse the damage done by erosion.

  4. All of the above.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Deforestation results in an increase in CO$ _2$ concentration in the atmosphere, greenhouse gasses like CO$ _2$ and methane significantly contribute to a changing climate. Reforestation involves the planting of the trees of same species. It is an effective method to reduce CO$ _2$ in the atmosphere, it also helps in restoring habitat loss and also helps in fighting against climate change and help in restoring endangered species from extinction.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
