<span>Logging ranks among the top causes of deforestation in Central and South America, especially because of the high demand for timber in countries importing from the region. In fact, between 1990 and 2010, South America lost about 8.7% of its forest cover, and over 80% of Latin America's tropical species have been lost just within the past 40 years. For the second human factor affecting the environment of Central and South America, according to the World Bank, more than 70% of water used in Central and South America empties back into rivers in the region without undergoing any form of treatment. This implies that industrial and sewage waste flow back into rivers, lakes, dams, and other water sources. This is so endemic in the region that every one in eight people there doesn't have access to clean drinking water.</span>

Since we don't have the available answers, let's see what were the <u>main causes</u> of the Dust Bowl devastation:
I) Mechanization of agricultural operations. Because of World War I efforts food production had to grow which increased wheat prices. This caused an enormous increase in the size of farms and in the rhythm and size of their crops that weren't accompanied by adequate care of the soil.
II) Farming in the Great Plains. Because of several federal land acts since the 19th century, many farmers were settling in the plains believing rain would come once farming started. This and the belief in Manifest Destiny made people farm in regions where irrigation couldn't reach.
III) The Great Depression. In order to compensate for the decreasing wheat prices, farmers tried to plow up even more land and harvest bigger crops. This led to the plowing of native grassland that kept the soil stable.
IV) Drought. In 1931 started a drought caused by a lack of rain that would end only in 1939. This killed the crops and left the soil exposed. Without grassland and with the winds the soil was blown away in dust storms.
