Lithosphere:

The lithosphere contains all of the solid land of the earths crust. The semi solid parts
underneath the crust and the liquid part near the centre of the earth. Basically how
deforestation effects the lithosphere is by changing the land scape. Tree's and other forms
of vegetation prevent soil erosion but when deforestation occurs there is no plant life to
absorb the excess water. After deforestation occurs the soil is left nutrient poor, after this
the land is unusable and plant life can no longer grow. The chemical compounds that are
found in the soil change due to the lack of vegetation

Atmosphere:

Tree's take carbon dioxide from our atmosphere and through the process of
photosynthesis they create food for themselves but they also release oxygen into the
atmosphere for human and other life forms to breath. The more tree's we have the better
our atmosphere will become. Since we emit a lot of carbon dioxide from everyday activities
such has breathing, using machinery and cars. A layer of carbon dioxide is formed by the
ozone layer making it thicker, this is not a good thing. This is the green house effect,
changing climate temperatures are occur because the suns ultra-violet rays are being tapped
by this layer and increasing global temperatures. The more tree's that are cut down the
slower the process of photosynthesis will occur, this means less oxygen, less oxygen means
eventually life on earth might not be sustainable.

Biosphere:

The biosphere contain all of earths living things, this includes plants, animals and micro-
organisms Deforestation depletes the earth of habitat land for animals. When a
multinational company cuts down a forest, the animals that inhabit that part become
homeless. Deforestation is a direct cause of some species going extinct. when tree's are cut
down with out being replace there is a lot of soil that is exposed, the sunlight drys up the soil
and causes it to loose its nutrients. Deforestation also causes the death of micro-organisms
which break down soil material and are necessary for plant growth. The Madagascar Dung
beetle is now extinct from many years of over foresting and not replenishing the land

Hydrosphere:
The hydrosphere contain all of the solid, liquid and gas forms of water on earth.
Deforestation causes rapid increase in soil erosion. The hydrosphere is linked to all of the
sphere in one way or another. Less tree's mean there will be less perception in an area, this
effects the atmosphere because the hydrosphere which consists of water also exists in our
atmosphere. If there is little or no precipitation then the land will dry up and become scarce
this is linked to the lithosphere. If the land is dry and cannot support plant life, animals will
find a new place for their habitats, this is linked to the biosphere.
