a. Give some adverse effects of indiscriminate cutting down of forests.
b. Suggest some measures to check deforestation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The indiscriminate cutting down of forest is also known as deforestation. Due to deforestation the main problem is the soil erosion. The rain drops directly fall on the ground causing soil erosion. The soil will be carried to the river and gets deposited in the river bed. The forests are also having a significant role in the climatic regulation. The measures for checking deforestation can be only done by public awareness and strict legislations.
