Question

2 which is a consequence of deforestation?
a animal habitats are destroyed.
b carbon in the atmosphere is reduced.
c soil erosion is prevented.
d the rate of extinction is slowed.

Explanation:

Deforestation leads to the destruction of habitats for numerous animal species. Trees are cut down, which directly impacts the living spaces of animals that rely on forests. Options B (carbon reduction is not a consequence of deforestation; deforestation actually increases carbon in the atmosphere as trees that absorb carbon are removed), C (soil erosion is often caused by deforestation, not prevented. Tree roots help hold soil in place, and without them, soil is more prone to erosion), and D (deforestation accelerates extinction rates as habitats are lost, not slows it).

Answer:

A. Animal habitats are destroyed.
