Question

What causes floods during trees getting cut down

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

When trees are cut down, the soil loses its stability and ability to absorb and retain water. As a result, rainfall and runoff can flow directly over the surface of the land, causing erosion and increasing the likelihood of flooding. Additionally, the roots of trees help to anchor the soil and prevent erosion, so their removal can further exacerbate the problem. Cutting down trees can also disrupt natural drainage patterns and water flow, leading to increased flooding in low-lying areas. Overall, deforestation can contribute to increased runoff, erosion, and flooding in affected areas.
