Question

Which of the following is not true concerning the usage of public land. a. Public land is managed by federal and state agencies. b. Unprotected lands exist inside federal parks. c. Public land can be protected or unprotected. d. Wilderness areas and state parks are protected.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) Unprotected lands exist inside federal parks.

Explanation:

Currently around 14% of the US's total territory (499,800 sq. miles) is protected areas, this includes federally and state protected areas. Federal national parks are a type of protected area that were established to preserve American natural, cultural and historic areas or sites.

Once a national park is setup, it will not be fragmented into protected or unprotected areas, so all the areas within the boundaries of national parks are protected areas.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is "b. Unprotected lands exist inside federal parks.".

Explanation: The statement "Unprotected lands exist inside federal parks" is NOT TRUE concerning the usage of public land because there are no unprotected lands within federal parks.
