Answer:
We live in an era of unprecedented road and highway expansion — an era in which many of the world’s last tropical wildernesses, from the Amazon to Borneo to the Congo Basin, have been penetrated by roads. This surge in road building is being driven not only by national plans for infrastructure expansion, but by industrial timber, oil, gas, and mineral projects in the tropics.
Few areas are unaffected. Brazil is currently building 7,500 kilometers of new paved highways that crisscross the Amazon basin. Three major new highways are cutting across the towering Andes mountains, providing a direct link for timber and agricultural exports from the Amazon to resource-hungry Pacific Rim nations, such as China. And in the Congo basin, a recent satellite study found a burgeoning network of more than 50,000 kilometers of new logging roads. These are but a small sample of the vast number of new tropical roads, which inevitably open up previously intact tropical forests to a host of extractive and economic activities.
Explanation:
Osmosis is the movement of water and is always the movement in the membrane. Diffusion is the movement of molecules
There are many reasons why it is important to monitor the environmental parameters. The activities of the humans had a great impact on the environment. Through monitoring, we will be able to understand and learn the factors that affect the environment and how to minimize it.
The four terrestrial planets are known as Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, they are all rocky planets composed primarily of silicate rocks and/or metals. They are all the planets closest to the sun in our Solar System. The Gas Giant's or Jovian Planets and <span>are composed mainly of a combination of gases/elements: </span>hydrogen<span>, </span>helium<span>, and </span>water<span> that exist in various </span><span>physical states. These are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Behind them is the dwarf planet Pluto (which has recently been re-instated officially as a planet), this is located in the Kuiper Belt.</span>
