The answers are:
- Rainforests are located near the equator; the rainforests require special conditions to be able to prosper, like constant summer with relatively high temperatures, and almost daily precipitation, and these conditions are found around the equator.
- Species found in the rainforests may be used to cure disease; there's thousands of plants/herbs that have been proven to cure lots of diseases for which the pharmaceutical industry hasn't been able to find proper medications.
- Species found in the rainforest decrease each day; because of the destruction of the rainforest on a daily basis, lots of species, both faunal and floral, are being exterminated and thus lost forever from the face of the Earth.
Hello. You did not present the answer options, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
To produce electricity for a city in a developed country, photovoltaic solar farms would need to occupy a large amount of land, as the demand for electricity in developed cities is very high and this would require a high production of solar energy. The occupation of such a large piece of land could hinder the sustainability of the region and of this energy production system. This is because the occupation of large areas of land could promote the destruction of habitats, deforestation and water and soil pollution due to the hazardous materials that are used to build solar panels, such as lead, gallium arsenide, diselenide from copper-indium-gallium, among others. This would cause the production of a non-polluting type of energy, causing pollution due to its installation.
