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.
I am pretty sure Osmosis sorry if Im wrong
Activation energy is the minimum quantity of energy that the reacting species must possess in order to undergo a specified reaction.
for example , striking a match on the side of a matchbox provides the activation energy, in the form of heat produced by friction.
