Answer: It can alter precipitation patterns.
Explanation:
Deforestation is a process of cutting and clearing of vegetation of a region mostly occupied with trees or the entire forest so as to obtain the land for use in maintaining the infrastructure of a urban land or using the wooden logs by the furniture industries.
The deforestation is likely to affect the water cycle. As the trees and plants which were cleared up from a region performs an important process of transpiration. In transpiration, the excess water which is not required by the plants is loosed by the tiny pores on the leaves or stems. The water evaporates in the form of water vapor. The accumulation of water vapors in the upper atmospheric layers when condenses causes rain or snow fall.
Therefore, in the absence of forests no transpiration will occur hence, the water cycle will be affected this can alter the precipitation patterns of rain and snow.
