Answer:
Borneo Island was once home to one of the most majestic forests in the world. During the 80s and 90s, Borneo underwent a profound transformation. Their forests were demolished at an unprecedented speed. Its rainforests ended in countries like Japan and the United States in the form of garden furniture, paper pulp and chopsticks. Today, the remaining forests are threatened by the new biofuel market, especially palm oil. As a result, large tracts of land are being transformed to oil palm plantations.
Explanation:
The jungles of Borneo were considered one of the wildest and pristine jungles of the planet, home to nomadic tribes and important populations of orangutans, pygmy elephants and rhinos. Currently, the traditions of these tribes have disappeared, rhinos are almost extinct, and orangutans and elephants are in danger. Otherwise, the rainforests of Borneo have gone from being a net carbon sink, which absorbed greenhouse gases, to being a carbon source, thus contributing to climate change along with deforestation and fires.
Conservation is a priority in Borneo, especially in biologically diverse regions that have escaped intensive logging and fires. The initiative called "Heart of Borneo" is an example of what can be achieved. It is essential that forests be restored. The use of native tree species should be encouraged through financial incentives and education programs, especially with the help of external governments, NGOs and private foundations. In addition, there is a possibility that under future climate agreements, reforestation could pay direct dividends stimulating the local economy and entrepreneurship in the villages.
The answer is B,I’m not sure tho sorry
the main thing is definitely global warming
increased global temperature (global warming)
what is evidence of this?
Take a look back on the 2020 hurricane season in the gulf, the amount of hurricanes being formed was astronomical! The main reason for this change is a big temperature difference in the oceans/ocean currents
Answer:
When sulfurous, sulfuric, and nitric acids in polluted air and rain react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves. In exposed areas of buildings and statues, we see roughened surfaces, removal of material, and loss of carved details. Stone surface material may be lost all over or only in spots that are more reactive.
Explanation:
You might expect that sheltered areas of stone buildings and monuments would not be affected by acid precipitation. However, sheltered areas on limestone and marble buildings and monuments show blackened crusts that have peeled off in some places, revealing crumbling stone beneath. This black crust is primarily composed of gypsum, a mineral that forms from the reaction between calcite, water, and sulfuric acid. Gypsum is soluble in water; although it can form anywhere on carbonate stone surfaces that are exposed to sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), it is usually washed away. It remains only on protected surfaces that are not directly washed by the rain.
