The Transamazonica Highway in Brazil is going to be both, useful and destructive, depending on the point of view.

The biggest advantage of this highway is that it will connect the cities, towns, and villages in the Amazon rain forest with the rest of Brazil, as they now are very isolated and it very hard to travel to any place in the country from there.

The biggest disadvantage is that the highway will be cutting right through the rain forest, and for sure, millions of animals will die on the highway by getting hit by the vehicles driving on it, as the rain forest animals are not aware of the dangers of the roads.

The terrain of Central Asia is characterized by all of the following except

kondor19780726 [428]

The correct answer is - ocean beaches.

Central Asia is a landlocked region, and the only water bodies that it has contact with are few large lakes, like the Caspian one. The region has no sea or ocean nearby, thus ocean beaches are not something that can be found.

Central Asia in general is a region that is arid and semi-arid, while the terrain varies between vast lowlands and very high mountains. The lowlands are mostly covered with grasslands or with deserts. The high mountains on the other hand, give a big contrast, as they are actually having numerous glaciers on them, despite being surrounded by deserts and steppes.
