Question
Which of the following is not a reason for deforestation?
Options
Construction of dams
Soil erosion
Mining activities
Over grazing
Solution
Soil erosion
Explanation:
- Soil erosion is a consequence of deforestation, not a cause. When trees are removed, the soil becomes more susceptible to erosion because there is less vegetation to hold the soil in place.
- Dam construction, mining activities, and overgrazing are all direct causes of deforestation, as they involve removing trees and vegetation to make way for other activities.
