Agricultural expansion is the leading cause of deforestation, as forests are cleared to make way for crops and livestock.

Deforestation contributes to air pollution by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, reducing the amount of oxygen in the air, and increasing the concentration of particulate matter in the air.

Deforestation has a number of negative consequences, including loss of biodiversity, increased soil erosion, and reduced water quality. However, it does not lead to improved air quality.

Deforestation releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which increases the amount of carbon stored in the atmosphere.

Carbon sequestration is the process by which forests absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their biomass.

Carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor are all greenhouse gases, while nitrogen is not.

Deforestation releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change.

More extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and melting glaciers are all potential consequences of climate change. However, increased food production is not a potential consequence of climate change.

Climate regulation is the process by which forests help to regulate the Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen, and regulating the water cycle.

Promoting sustainable agriculture, protecting existing forests, and reforestation are all potential strategies for reducing deforestation. However, increasing the demand for wood products is not a potential strategy for reducing deforestation.

Reforestation is the process of planting trees in areas that have been deforested.

Reforestation helps to reduce air pollution, mitigate climate change, and improve water quality. However, it does not reduce the amount of carbon stored in the atmosphere.

Evapotranspiration is the process by which trees release water vapor into the atmosphere.

Deforestation can lead to reduced water quality, increased flooding, and droughts. However, it does not lead to improved water quality.

Evapotranspiration is the process by which forests help to regulate the water cycle by releasing water vapor into the atmosphere.
