geography secondary sector : industry generation of electricity exploration and conservation of minerals irrigation and power

  1. Increases causing flood

  2. Decreases and area becomes dry

  3. Decreases but increases moisture

  4. Increases but decreases moisture

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If trees are cleared, annual rainfall decreases and area becomes dry. Water from the soil is absorbed by the plants. Then, this water evaporates from plants and form clouds. But, if trees are cleared, less water is absorbed from the soil.  It disturbs the water cycle. The formation of clouds becomes difficult. So, it leads to reduced rainfall and area becomes dry.
