Once had the highest deforestation rate in the world and in 2005 still had the largest area of forest removed annually.[1] Since 1970, over 700,000 square kilometers (270,000 sq mi) of the Amazon rainforest have been destroyed. In 2012, the Amazon was approximately 5.4 million square kilometres, which is only 87% of the Amazon's original state.[2]

Rainforests have decreased in size primarily due to deforestation. Despite reductions in the deforestation rate over the last ten years, the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by 40% by 2030 at the current rate.[3] Between May 2000 and August 2006, Brazil lost nearly 150,000 km2 of forest, an area larger than Greece. According to the Living Planet Report 2010, deforestation continues at an alarming rate. But at the CBD 9th Conference, 67 ministers signed up to help achieve zero net deforestation by 2020.

Is the Rocky mountain a push or pull factor ? And why ?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The Rocky Mountains are a push factor.

Explanation:

There are numerous factors that contribute to migration, but all of them can be put in two wide categories, push factors and pull factors. The push factors are the factors that make people leave a certain place and move to another one. The pull factors are the factors that attract people to move into a certain place.

The Rocky Mountains can be considered as a push factor. The reason for this is that these mountains when compared to many other parts of the United States, offer very few opportunities and advantages. Especially when the large economic centers are taken into consideration, being in the same country, people naturally feel that they are missing out on a lot of things in life by living in the Rocky Mountains, so they move out of them and generally tend to migrate to the big urban areas.
