• <em>There is more demand for natural resources.
</em>
<em>• There will probably be more pollution from manufacturing.
</em>
<em>• Natural resources are transported worldwide.
</em>
<em>• With higher demand, all natural resources will be depleted.
</em>
<em>• Finished products are transported worldwide</em>.
Answer: The correct answers are: There will probably be more pollution from manufacturing and Finished products are transported worldwide.
Explanation: One concern about trade's role in the environment is its need for transportation services. As a result of international trade, finished products are transported worldwide. The international shipping industry is responsible for the carriage of around 90% of world trade. Shipping is the life of the global economy and without it, intercontinental trade and the import/export of affordable food and manufactured goods wouldn't be possible. There are many ways to trade. It can be by land, road, rail, pipelines, air or sea. But not everything about trade is positive. As we know, international trade involves countries specializing in the manufacturing and exporting of goods in which they exchange and receive through transportations. This has always been a negative aspect of international trade due to the fear that its expansion is likely to lead to increased use of transportation, which leads to air pollution, harming the environment. If connection and trade occurs between countries, finished products are transported worldwide but there will probably be more pollution from manufacturing. Many trading agencies are working on reducing this problem by implementing different transporting systems but, although this has helped, it is still known as a current problem.
