When trees are cut down, the soil can be easily eroded by wind and water. This can lead to landslides and flooding. For example, in 2018, a landslide in Kerala killed over 100 people. The landslide was caused by deforestation, which had made the soil unstable.<\/li>\n<li>Water resources: Trees help to regulate the flow of water. When trees are cut down, the water cycle can be disrupted. This can lead to droughts and floods. For example, in 2019, Kerala experienced a severe drought. The drought was caused by a combination of factors, including deforestation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Deforestation is a serious problem that has a number of negative consequences.
