Deforestation Cause-and-Effect Chain
Name:
Date:
Cause and Effect ChainFollow the sequence of events to see how deforestation affects our world.
Start: Human Activity
People cut down forests to clear land for farms, get wood for timber, and build new roads.
The Direct Result
The trees that used to store carbon and hold the soil in place are now gone.
Soil & Water
Loose soil erodes and washes away into rivers, filling them with mud and sediment.
Biodiversity
Animals lose their habitat and food sources, causing biodiversity levels to drop.
Atmosphere
Fewer trees mean less carbon is absorbed, so more greenhouse gas stays in the air.
The Global Impact
Because of the extra gas in the air, local rainfall patterns shift and temperatures rise.
