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.

The Ring of Fire is a region of tectonic activity. This means that it is an area where __________ are especially common.
Andreas93 [3]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>a. Earth quakes</u> are common.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

"Ring of Fire" is a significant region in the bowl of Pacific Ocean where numerous earthquakes and volcanic ejections happen. In an enormous 40,000 km horseshoe shape, it is related to an about nonstop arrangement of maritime channels, volcanic circular segments, and volcanic belts and plate developments. It has 452 volcanoes.

About 90% of the world's tremors and about 81% of the world's biggest seismic tremors happen along the "Ring of Fire". The Ring of Fire is an immediate aftereffect of plate tectonics: the development and impacts of lithospheric plates, particularly subduction in the northern segment.
