Question

deforestation

1. what changes would likely happen due to deforestation? check all that apply.

a. there would be an increase in precipitation from evapotranspiration.
b. water from runoff and infiltration would start to build up.
c. there would be an increase in precipitation from evaporation.

Explanation:

Deforestation reduces trees which are involved in evapotranspiration. Without trees, evapotranspiration decreases, reducing precipitation. Also, trees help with water - holding and infiltration. When they are removed, runoff increases and infiltration decreases rather than building up. Evaporation alone from deforested land doesn't significantly increase precipitation in a positive way as the land surface changes and there is less water cycling through plants.

Answer:

None of the above options are correct.
