Yakvenalex [24]

Very easy
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Este reportaje fue actualizado el 1 de diciembre del 2020 para incluir nuevos datos sobre la deforestación en Brasil.

Durante agosto del 2019, el aumento de los incendios en Brasil y Bolivia volvió a poner el Amazonas en el punto de mira.

Según un informe del Instituto de Investigación Ambiental de la Amazonía (IPAM) los fuegos estaban directamente relacionados con la deforestación.

A pesar de las promesas del gobierno de que pondría fin a la deforestación, los incendios en el bosque volvieron a ocurrir durante el mismo periodo de 2020.

Expertos atribuyen como las causas principales el acaparamiento de tierras y la expansión de la frontera agrícola y ganadera en estos dos países.

How did the settlement patterns change during the industrial revolution
NISA [10]

) Increase in agricultural production. New inventions and methods (better irrigation, steel-tipped plow, etc) led to much greater food production.

2.) Urbanization. As less labor was needed on farms and more labor was needed in emerging factories, people moved to the cities.

3.) Mass production. Increasingly large and efficient factories allowed goods to be produced on a scale never before seen.

4.) Mass consumption. Goes hand-in hand with mass production. For most of history people made or grew almost everything they consumed. Now they bought a large portion of what they consumed.

5.) Mechanization. Machines began replacing human labor in agriculture, industry, and transport.

6.) Pollution. Once the steam-engine became the principle source of energy (as opposed to water power), vast amounts of coal were mined and burned to provide energy. This is still the case today.

7.) Wealth inequality. The distribution of wealth wasn't particularly equal before the Industrial Revolution, but with the emergence of Robber Barons and "Wage Slaves" inequality increased even more.

8.) Agitation for Labor Rights. The appalling conditions of industrial work caused workers to gradually demand better treatment: Child Labor Laws, Women's Labor Laws, Safety Regulations, the Emergence of Unions, etc

9.) Increase in International Trade. Improved transportation and larger quantities of goods to trade vastly increased the amount of international trade.

10.) Colonization. European powers acquired colonies as sources of raw materials, but more importantly as markets for their manufactured goods.

11.) Emergence of the middle class. A large percentage of the population (bourgeois) enjoyed decent wealth and high standards of living due to industrialization. They were often factory owners, foremen, engineers, lawyers, or other professionals. In many cases, member of the bourgeois became wealthier than members of the old-money lords.

12.) Social Reform in General. With urbanization came urban problems: homelessness, crime, poverty, etc. Prohibitionists, suffragists, and religious organizations (Salvation Army, etc) tried to solve these issues.

13.) Scientific and Technological Innovation: A greater portion of the population (though still small) was free to attend universities and contribute to discovery and progress.

14.) Military expansion. New weapons were created and then manufactured on a grand scale: firearms, naval vessels, munitions, etc.

15.) As you said, transportation. Canals, railroads, steam-liners, airplanes and Zeppelins, etc
