❖ An environmental effect of deforestation is C. Soil erosion. The answer is C because deforestation is destruction of trees, and all trees have roots and the roots hold the tree in place and give the trees the nutrients from the soil. When trees are cut down, the roots and trees die and the trees have nothing to hold the soil down so it all washes/blows away.
