History
1 answer:
Nostrana [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Deforestation – From 2012 to 2013, deforestation increased by a staggering 28%. According to a UN report released in 2016, Brazil experienced a loss of nearly 55,000 hectares between the years 1990 and 2015

Farming – Demand for crops and livestock has increased, and natural vegetation has consequently been converted to crop and pasture areas. Between 1985 and 2006, total area for this use jumped from 126 to 161 million hectares.

Mining – Mining has caused severe environmental damage including oil spills and dam ruptures.

Desertification – Natural and anthropic factors have resulted in desertification, most notably in the Caatinga biome.

Illegal hunting and predatory fishing – Genetic diversity of fauna is threatened by poaching, which causes species extinction and disrupts the ecosystem’s food chain.

Infrastructure megaprojects – Highways, hydroelectric dams, and manufacturing plants have increased carbon dioxide and methane levels, accelerating climate change.

Natural and prescribed burning – Wildfires release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the air, while prescribed burning for agricultural purposes affects soil fertility and flora/fauna species.

Limited conservation areas – Private preserve areas need to be expanded to meet adequate levels of environmental protection.

Climate change – The effects of climate change, such as more frequent droughts, increasing temperatures, and additional wildfires, will negatively impact Brazil.

Which was one of the causes that led to the Great Sioux War in 1876?
Semmy [17]

<u>The correct answer is D. Gold was discovered in the Black Hills of South Dakota</u>. The federal government forgot the <em><u>Treaty of Laramie of 1868,</u></em> and on December 3, 1875, <em><u>ordered the Sioux to evacuate the territory and decreed a peremptory period (January 31, 1876</u></em>), after which those who refused to return to the reserves would be considered "hostile" with all the consequences that this term implied. The federal government decided to organize a military expedition to expel the now "hostiles" from the territory that had formally been recognized only eight years ago. In February 1876, preparations began. A long and extensive campaign was foreseen, given the difficulties of the climate and the immensity of the territory that had to be covered. In a first expedition, <em><u>the general George Crook left the first of March of 1876 towards the valleys of the Yellowstone and the Powder River, with the specific mission to destroy the village of the chief Sioux Caballo Loco</u></em>, after the Sioux Tribe declared war on the intruders and on the United States, as a consequence of the permanent invasions of <u>the sacred territory of the Black Hills because of the discovery of the existence of gold in 1871.</u>
