Answer:

All issues are related to each other.

Explanation:

  • Environmental issues like Biodiversity and genetic modification related to the alterations in the genetic makeup of species richness on earth. Biodiversity today faces a challenging situation where the loss of habitats and modification of the environment takes place that leads the species to adapt fast to the next environment. Either by natural selection or genetic drift.  
  • Deforestation is the complete removal or clearance of forest land by man for construction or development purposes, which leads to the development of desertic conditions over the natural landscape as trees hold the soil by roots from getting blown away.
  • Global warming and ozone layer depletion, both causes of man-made anthropogenic wastes and harmful gases that warm and destroy the upper atmosphere and raise the temperature of the world's oceans and water levels.

In 3-4 sentences describe the geologic history of North America. In what order did events occur? What is the cause of the mounta
ryzh [129]

The first thing to say is that there are two geographical features with the same name: the Rocky Mountain System and the Rocky Mountains (s.s.) that are part of it.The complete orographic system is something like a very varied sample of geological and tectonic processes.The system extends for more than 2982 miles, from Canada to the southern United States, (state of New Mexico). Its transverse extension varies between 68 and 300 miles, with the eastern edge being very close to Denver, and constituting a prominent feature within the central plains of the continent.The far west is not far from Salt Lake City, Utah, and is separated from the Sierra Nevada, Cascade, and Coastal chains-farther west-by the Great Basin and the Columbia River Plateau.The Rocky Mountains end before entering Alaska, not the System that contains them, which is also known to include the highest peaks in North America. In the United States, the highest height is recorded at Mount Elbert in Colorado, showing 4,401 m.s.n.m.Also in the Rocky Mountains is the watershed of the continent, which obviously separates the basins that drain towards the Pacific from those that drain towards the Atlantic.
