Question

Explain how deforestation can result in droughts and floods.

Answer

The roots of the trees help the soil to bind up properly. Deforestation of trees led to the frequent floods and drought, because the soil loosens up the binding due to cutting of trees. Thus, when there is rain, soil erosion and flood take place. 

As for drought, deforestation leads to global warming and reduces the water cycle of that place resulting to less rain fall.
