Without land regulations to protect rainforests, land continues to be destroyed using slash and burn methods. Demand for natural gas is increasing the rates of rainforest deforestation.

What is Deforestation?

  • Deforestation, also known as forest clearance, is the removal of a forest or tree stand from land before it is put to another use other than that of a forest.
  • Deforestation can occur when forestland is converted to agricultural, ranching, or urban uses.
  • Tropical rainforests experience the highest concentration of deforestation. At the moment, woods encompass about 31% of the Earth's land area. This represents a loss of one-third of the forest cover that existed prior to the development of agriculture, with the last century accounting for half of that loss.
  • An area the size of Bangladesh's forest is lost each year between 15 and 18 million hectares. Every minute, 2,400 trees are taken down on average.
  • Deforestation is not the same as "forest area net change," which is the total of all forest losses (deforestation) and gains (forest expansion) over a certain time period.
  • Therefore, depending on whether gains outweigh losses or vice versa, net change can be either positive or negative.

Well I’m no meteorologist, but it seems to me the closer you get to the equator the denser the air mass becomes. The farther away it gets from the equator, it obviously gets less dense. I do notice though that the purple are is Greenland, northern Russia and Northern America. Which leads me to believe that it’s more mountain land and it’s density is compared to that of cooler air.

Wind patterns are named based on their point of origin. Match each global wind pattern to the region of Earth where it blows.
Y_Kistochka [10]

The northeast and southeast trade winds are between 0 and 30 degrees and pass from east to west, Westerlies between 30-60 degrees blow from west to east and Polar Easterlies between 60-90 degrees blow from east to the west.

<h3>What is the global wind pattern?</h3>

The global wind pattern is likewise called the overall flow of wind which moves from a location of excessive stress to a location of low pressure.

The global wind pattern on every location of Earth may be labeled as Polar Easterlies, the Westerlies, and the change winds.

Thus, The Northeast and Southeast trade winds are between 0 - 30 degrees, Westerlies between 30-60 degrees and Polar Easterlies between 60-90 degrees blow from east to the west.
