Which of the following is not a cause of deforestation?

a. Dams

b. Mining

c. Timber extractions

d. Heavy rainfall

Direct answer:(c) Habitat

In science, the habitat is the natural place in the environment where an organism lives, grows, and gets its basic needs (food, water, shelter, and proper temperature).

Why not the others?

• Home: everyday word, not a scientific term for organisms in nature.
• Resort: a human leisure place.
• Reservoir: a man-made water storage, not necessarily where organisms naturally live.

Examples:
Desert = camel’s habitat • Pond = fish’s habitat • Forest = tiger’s habitat
