How has deforestation in Haiti altered the climate? a. The loss of trees resulted in less water vapor in the atmosphere and thus less rain. b. Deforestation has resulted in widespread extinction of plants. c. Without trees’ root systems to hold it in place, rains have washed away the topsoil. d. Deforestation has not altered Haiti’s climate.

Respuesta :

a.
The loss of trees resulted in less water vapor in the atmosphere and thus less rain.

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A.

The primary effect of deforestation in Haiti is the loss of most of the topsoil of the region, that is, soil erosion.  

It leads to decreases in the number of trees or vegetation in the area due to which the transpiration rates decrease significantly.

It alters the water cycle and thus, reduces the rain flow.
