In order to expand agriculture and stimulate a sagging economy, the Brazilian government eased environmental laws which allowed large tracts of rainforest to be cut down or burned. In three to five sentences, construct a potential chain of consequences for what can happen as a result of this kind of deforestation. The chain does not have to be linear (i.e., five steps in a row), but can have several branches, one for each different potential consequence. Your chain should include at least four steps, including the original event.(4 points)make relly short but informing

1. The easing of environmental laws in Brazil led to the cutting down and burning of large tracts of rainforest.

2. Deforestation results in the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
3. Loss of rainforest habitat leads to a decline in biodiversity, affecting the survival of numerous plant and animal species.
4. Deforestation also disrupts the water cycle, leading to reduced rainfall and increased soil erosion, impacting both local and global ecosystems.
