Question

Forests are not responsible for

पर्याय

• providing medicinal plants.

• maintaining the flow of water into the streams.

• creating flood conditions.

• absorbing rainwater and maintaining the water table.

Answer 1

creating flood conditions.

Explanation:

Forests prevent flooding. In a forest, raindrops do not hit the forest floor directly. The canopy layer of the forest intercepts the flow of raindrops so that rainwater falls on the leaves of trees and then drips slowly onto the forest floor. Thus, water does not collect and stagnate on the forest floor
