Answer:

Negative effects of deforestation on the environment are erosion, mass wasting, loss of biodiversity, destruction of ecosystems, climate changes, etc.

Explanation:

Deforestation is one of the major environmental problems. It is not a problem that has occurred recently but has systematically been going on for several thousands of years, but has been becoming a bigger and bigger problem with the growth of the human population. There are many environmental problems that occur because of deforestation, such as erosion, mass wasting, loss of biodiversity, destruction of ecosystems, and climate change.

When the vegetation is stripped from some area, the soil gets exposed much more, so it gets eroded by much higher rates, leading to loss of fertile soil. The soil also losses its stability, so when there are higher amounts of rainfall or earthquakes, there is a high risk of mass wasting. By destroying the vegetation, a lot of organisms lose their habitat, thus they die out or get dangerously close to extinction. Having less vegetation leads to higher temperatures of the soil and the air above it, stronger winds, and a decrease in precipitation, all in all leading to change in the climate on a micro or macro level.

A transform boundary occurs where plates slide against each other. <br> a. True<br> b. False
STatiana [176]

The correct answer is - True.

The transform boundaries of the tectonic plates are boundaries where two tectonic plates are sliding against each other. As they do that, they do create geological activity around the boundary, and earthquakes are a common occurrence. Another trademark of these boundaries are the faults, that stretch for several km in a linear manner, usually parallel to the boundary itself. Most of these faults are located in the ocean basins and they are connecting the offsets of the mid-ocean ridges, but they can also be found on land, like it is the case in California.
