In 1880, coal powered a steam engine attached to the world's first electric generator. Thomas Edison's plant in New York City provided the first electric light to Wall Street financiers and the New York Times.Only a year later, the world's first hydroelectric plant went on-line in Appleton, Wisconsin.By the late 1800s, a new form of fuel was catching on: petroleum.With the low-cost automobile and the spread of electricity, our society's energy use changed forever. Power plants became larger and larger, until we had massive coal plants and hydroelectric dams. Power lines extended hundreds of miles between cities, bringing electricity to rural areas during the Great Depression.(this is just a brief description)

Que atividades economicas contribuiram para o grande desmatamento da mata atlantica na regiao nordeste

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The economic activities that were the most influential in the deforestation of the northeastern part of the country on the Atlantic coast were the lumber industry and the agriculture.

The lumber industry has not been properly controlled, and with such a high quantity of high quality lumber that is highly demanded and expensive on the global markets, it was taking down as much trees as possible in order to make a big profit.

Because of the needs for land for the agriculture, lot of forested area had been cleared and destroyed so that the agriculture can develop and grow in this region.

Unfortunately, the nature hasn't been taken into consideration while doing this activities, so big portions of it had been destroyed, and even worse, the process is continuing.
