Question

how does deforestation affect the water cycle? increases precipitation enhances evaporation reduces transpiration decreases evaporation choose a response

Explanation:

Trees are involved in transpiration (loss of water vapor from leaves). Deforestation reduces the number of trees, thus reducing transpiration. Evaporation is not directly decreased by deforestation as it depends on factors like temperature and surface - water availability. Deforestation doesn't increase precipitation and doesn't enhance evaporation in a positive way related to the water - cycle balance.

Answer:

Reduces transpiration
