Answer:

There are many natural resources found in Latin

America that can be used for industry. Three examples of these resources are fertile soil, minerals, and the Amazon Rainforest. Fertile soil can be used in farming and ranching industries. Farmers can grow important cash crops, such as coffee, soybeans, and tropical fruits. Ranchers can use the land to raise and breed cattle, one of the leading industries in Brazil. Though these are important industries in Latin America, if people can create environment challenges to the soil if they are not careful. Possible challenges include soil exhaustion, erosion, deforestation, and water contamination from pesticides. A large supply of minerals has led to the development of the mining industry, which is very important to countries like Chile, Colombia, Argentina, and Peru. Though mining creates economic stability, it also creates environmental challenges! Issues such as water pollution (with toxins like mercury and bauxite) and air pollution (from heavy machinery) are common. The Amazon Rainforest itself is an amazing natural resource that allows for industries like mining, farming, ranching, and logging. However, if left unchecked, these industries can create environmental challenges such as deforestation, water contamination, air pollution, and the extinction of plant and animal species.

Explanation:

Aquaculture or aquaculture is the set of activities, techniques and knowledge of breeding aquatic plant and animal species. It is an important economic activity of food production, raw materials for industrial and pharmaceutical use, and living organisms for repopulation or ornamentation. The farming systems are very diverse, from freshwater or seawater, and from cultivation directly in the environment to installations under fully controlled conditions. The most common crops correspond to planktonic organisms (microalgae7 and Artemia), macroalgae, molluscs and crustaceans, the professionals in charge of this work are Fisheries Engineers, Zootechnicians, Aquatic Engineers and Marine Biologists.

Fish farming is the breeding of fish, a term used to group a great diversity of crops that are very different from each other, generally denominated according to the species or the family. The facilities of industrial fish farming are known as fish farms, although this is a term in disuse, due to the diversification that has suffered the crop, in tanks, ponds, floating cages, etc. The most produced species worldwide are carp, salmon, tilapia and catfish.
