What is deforestation?

                         Deforestation
The process of cutting down of tree in very large amount is known as deforestation.

 Causes of deforestation
The main causes of deforestation are:-
  • People are cutting down the tree to get more land  areas.
  • People are leaving their cattle in field for grazing.They are destroying the whole vegetation.
  • People are cutting down the tree for their own profit like cutting down of wood , selling in the market .
  • People are cutting down of tree for construction building.
Evil consequences of deforestation
Deforestation  elegocial balance is maintained by nature break away.Floods and drought are terrible consequences.
If there are so many trees present it increases the rainfall area  that fall on ground where soil observe the water .

  Evil consequences of deforestation are :-
1.Adverse Effect on Productivity
2.Land/Erosion and Landslides
3.Low Per Capita Forestland

      1.Adverse effect of productivity

  • The deforestation increase the soil erosion increase manifold. The soil so washedleads to an accentuated cycle of floods and drought.
  • Deforestation creates to use cowdung and crop wastes as fuel mainly for cooking.As a result no part of the plant goes back to loss in soil fertility.
    •      2.Land/Erosion and Landslides
    • Deforestation has been causing tremendous land erosion and landslides.
    • 6,000 million ton of topsoil is lost annually due to water erosion in the absence of trees.
        3.Low per Capita Forestland
    • As per capita forestland is concerned,  Today India is the poorest in the world.
    • The per capita forestland in India is 0.10 hectare compared to the world average of 1 hectare.
    Prevention method of deforestation
    •  People should plant more and more trees.
    • We should prevent the overgrazing.
    • People should cut that much forest for the requirements.
    • We should tell the people that if people is cutting one tree ,then people should plant two trees .

    The scope of the environment are it consist four segment Atmosphere Hydrosphere Lithosphere   Biosphere Atmosphere :- Atmosphere act as the blanket to protect from the ultraviolet ray which comes outs from the sun. On the earth it sustain life . The atmosphere is composed of nitrogen and oxygen. There are so many gases like argon ,carbon dioxide and trace gases. Hydrosphere :- Hydrosphere consist of all water bodies resources like ocean, seas ,lakes ,rivers ,glacier ground water etc. Hydrosphere In the earth 97% ,earth water supply is in oceans. About 2% water are in icecapes and glacier. Only 1% fresh water is available  in the water bodies for human consumption.   The water bodies are river ,lake and ground water. Lithosphere:- Lithosphere is the outer part of the earth .It consist of minerals occurring in earth crust and soil. example:- mineral ,organic matter ,air and water. Lithosphere Biosphere:- Biosphere indicate the l...

    What is natural resources and it's types?

    Image
                    Natural resources Natural resources are the resources which comes out from the nature to fulfill the human needs. Natural resources Natural resources is divided into two part  Renewable resources Non-renewable resources 1 . Renewable resources:- renewable resources which can renewed  along with their exploitation is known as renewable resources . Example:- soler energy ,wind energy etc Renewable resources 2. Non-renewable resources:- Non renewable resources are the resources which cannot renewed after exploitation. It take million of years to formed the resources,this type of resources is know as non renewable resources. Example :- fossil fuel etc Non renewable resources 3 cyclic resources:-resources there is no final use as they can be used continuously.  Example:- water. used in industry and domestic ways can be cleaned and used again for similar or other purpose. Such resources...

Environment problem created by Extracting  and minning The environment side effect of extracting and mining projects can be studied in three categories as under: Effect within and around the area covered by the dam and reservoir. Underground effects caused by emptying of area. Regional effects in terms of overall aspects inclusive of resources use and socio￾economic aspects.  It has also been participating i...
