The correct answers regarding the environmental problems that occur as a result of slash-and-burn agriculture are:
- desertification
- destruction of plants and animals
- pollution of the air
- contamination of rivers
Slash-and-burn agriculture can lead to these issues as it clears land for farming by burning vegetation, which can degrade the soil, reduce biodiversity, release pollutants into the air, and potentially lead to water contamination from runoff.
