5 0

Answer:

According to one estimate, stands of century-old forest now account for only 7% of forest cover in the United States (USDA-FS 2000). Since 1600, 90% of the virgin forests that once covered much of the lower 48 states have been cleared away.

Explanation:

Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, Washington

The Mount Baker-Snoqualmie forest is located in the Cascade mountain range in Washington state and is home to 644,000 acres of old-growth. Situated around an hour away from the Seattle metropolitan area, this forest is one of the most frequently visited in the country.

Why Topics are called Cancer +Copic Capricorn
zmey [24]
Tropic of Cancer, latitude approximately 23°27′ N of the terrestrial Equator. This latitude corresponds to the northernmost declination of the Sun’s ecliptic to the celestial equator. At the summer solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere), around June 21, the Sun attains its greatest declination north and is directly over the Tropic of Cancer. At that time the Sun appears in the constellation Gemini, but much earlier in history, it lay in the constellation Cancer, thereby resulting in the designation Tropic of Cancer. Because of the gradual change in the direction of Earth’s axis of rotation, the Sun will reappear in the constellation of Cancer in approximately 24,000 years.
