Answer:

Both the llanos and the pampas are South American regions characterized by being plains with high fertility, so they are centers of high agricultural production for their countries.

Explanation:

-The Llanos is a vast tropical grassland in Colombia and Venezuela. It lies between the Andean Mountains and the Orinoco River.   It is a large, warm region with rolling grasslands broken by low-lying plateau mountains, thick woods and scattered palm trees. The height above the sea varies between 100 and 300 meters. During the dry season (November-April) the grass is crisp, yellowish and inedible. During the rainy season much of the area is flooded. The region is sparsely populated, and livestock farming is the dominant production in the zone. With flood control and water storage projects in the region, parts of Llanos have been transformed into fertile agricultural lands.

-The Pampas is a fertile plain in southeastern South America. It covers mainly central and eastern Argentina.  In addition, there is a transition zone in Uruguay to the southern Brazilian plateau landscape; however, the Uruguayan Pampas is a smaller, slightly undulating landscape.

The Argentine Pampas is a very populous and vast area, about 750,000 km², which slowly rises from the Atlantic and the Parana river in the east towards the Andes in the west. In the north it is bounded by the Chaco area and in the south by the Patagonia.

The climate is mild but windy, with hot summers and dry winters, but not frost-free. It rains moderately, and the rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year.  

The eastern part of the region is characterized by fertile loose soils. Agriculture also provides good crops here, including wheat, maize, sunflowers, oilseeds, soybeans and potatoes. The central and western parts of Pampas are mostly used as pastures for large herds of cattle.

Pampas is considered one of the world's largest grain stores and accounts for about one-third of Argentina's total grain and beef production.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

B. The Channel Tunnel connecting the United Kingdom and France reduced travel time between these nations

E. Land has been cleared to make room for France's famous vineyards

F. A highway through Mount Blanc connects Italy and France

Explanation:

One of the five themes of geography is the human-environmental interaction. The human-environmental interaction basically means that the humans and the environment interact with each other and affect each other, sometimes in positive manner, sometimes in negative manner. There are many examples for this geographic theme across the globe.

The Channel Tunnel between the UK and France is an underwater tunnel. Its purpose is to make the traveling easier and faster between the two nations. It has been built in the sea waters, and fortunately it is not having any negative impacts on the environment.

France is one of the biggest producers of vine in the world. In order to have the amount of grapes needed for France to produce lot of vine it needs lot of agricultural land. This has been accomplished by clearing the land from the wild vegetation over time. While this has had a very positive impact on the economy of France, it has had very negative effect on the wildlife as it has totally ruined the habitat for lot of species.

Italy and France are separated by a massive mountain range, the Alps. The Alps are very large and very high, but nonetheless the humans managed to find ways to build highways through them despite all the difficulties. The highways are state of art through the Alps, and they are very useful for the countries in the region as these highways connect them, and not making them isolted. It has not been so great for the environment though, as lot of changes have been done to the mountain range, and every day there's thousands of animals that die on the highways.
