Air pollution

Deforestation

Earthquakes

Coastal flooding

Typhoons

Answer 1

The two correct answers are:

1. Deforestation - Clearing land for farming and logging directly leads to the removal of forests, which is known as deforestation.
2. Air pollution - The clearing of land for these purposes can also contribute to air pollution, particularly through the burning of vegetation and trees, which releases smoke and particulate matter into the atmosphere.
