The best option for this question is: '<span>It increases the amount of runoff</span>'. Plant life acts as a barrier to the overland flow of water, thereby slowing the flow and allowing increased infiltration of water into the soil. Deforestation and overgrazing are major contributors to erosion, as plants act to bind the soil, and their removal allows the combination of looser soil and increased runoff to move masses of sediment into rivers and lakes. Deforestation will in fact decrease transpiration and percolation and precipitation rather than increase them.

Where is the epicenter of this hypothetical earthquake
likoan [24]
The epicenter of a hypothetical Earthquake is the place where the fault begins to rupture. The tectonic movements within the epicenter is actually the area with the greatest damage after an Earthquake occurs.

The epicenter is the most dangerous zone during an Earthquake because the ground is very much unstable, but as the seismic activity dissipates it is the first one to set and stabilize because this is where the plates will converge.
