7 0

well, everyone knows that the most major one is pollution of the air. Burning of fossil fuels is a long, dangerous and complicating process. For starters, people get cancers because they work all day in mining the fossil fuels, because they literally breath and inhale it, therefore get terrible health issues. One, burning the fossils cause the air to become polluted, and thus literally changes our planet in horrible unimaginable ways. The burning of the fossils cause global warming and climate change because the burning releases carbon dioxide and other toxic greenhouse gases into our atmosphere, and thus trap heat in the atmosphere, literally burning us alive.

Air Pollution

In much of what is now Canada, glaciers covered the land as little as 12,000 years ago and glacial erosion scoured the land surf
irinina [24]

The reason why the Midwestern United States have a very fertile soil, but Canada doesn't, despite both of them being covered by glaciers until relatively recently, and both having the same age of soil, is the climate and vegetation.

Canada is much colder than the Midwest, its winters are longer, and the summers mild, while the Midwest has higher temperatures, prolonged period of drought, and seasonal rainfall.

Because of this, Canada has been covered by coniferous forests. They leave relatively little biomass, and also the climate is making the decomposition of the biomass very slow, thus resulting in relatively poor soil quality.

In the Midwest, the climate is perfect for the development of the grasslands. The grasses grown and die each year. They live a lot of biomass, and the higher temperatures contribute that the biomass decomposes pretty quickly, thus resulting in good quality soil.
