1 C. Deforestation can alter precipitation patterns because it takes away forests that usually put lots of water vapor in the air through transpiration.
2 C. The cycling of oxygen has something to do with the carbon cycle because of the complementary nature of the photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Deforestation, not only affects the atmosphere, it also affects all its flora and fauna. Whole ecosystem is spoiled. permanently.
