What may be a major environmental result of deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Soil erosion

The governing concept is the environmental impact of removing vegetation. Tree roots bind soil particles, leaf litter protects the ground from raindrop impact, and forest canopies slow the movement of rainwater. When forests are cleared, these protections are reduced, so runoff can carry fertile topsoil downslope and wind can remove exposed particles. This process is soil erosion, making option A correct. Deforestation can also increase runoff, reduce habitat and disturb local water cycles, but those effects are not needed to identify the answer. Glacier formation is not a direct result of cutting trees, and deforestation cannot increase average ocean depth or end earthquakes. Therefore option A is the only scientifically appropriate choice.
