Expert Solution
Step 1

The term deforestation is associated with the removal of forest regions for several human purposes. This phenomenon can cause soil erosion as well as result in reducing the soil fertility of a particular region. The availability of nutrient in such regions also gets affected. Reduction in forest region due to various human activities would also result in increasing the carbon dioxide level and thus cause pollution.
