Question

Deforestation occurs when a forested area is converted into a non-forested area. This conversion could be due to the need for construction or expansion of a town, the creation of farmland, or logging.

B.
It would decrease the amount of plant and animal life in the area.
C.
It would increase the diversity of animal species in the area.
D.
It would increase the number of animals inhabiting the area.

Answer 1

Well in my opinion I think that it would be B because if deforestation were to happen, then there would be no trees to provide food for any organisms to eat or survive. Hence, it would decrease animal life as well as plant life too.

Answer 2

B.

It would decrease the amount of plant and animal life in the area.
