Explanation:

This adds miles to the journey of an item of food and therefore means more transport costs and more pollution. ... For example, some foods do not grow easily in the UK and need heated greenhouses. This means the food produced locally may have a larger carbon footprint than that grown in a warmer climate.

Answer:

Hey!

Importing food from abroad (i.e. from South Africa) adds to the size of a carbon footprint because the amount of fuels used, (oil, petrol, diesel, kerosene and many more), increases with the distance travelled...

And more fuels that are burnt in the preparation of the product, transporting the product to the distribution centres, shipping and deliveries results in the increase the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gases which eventually, in the long term, add to Climate Change/Global Warming...

Explanation:

haha I'm doing Geography for GCSE's so I guess I'm quite good at it!

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

ss7ja [257]
Rainstorms provide natural moisture to the environment. Receiving rain will keep plant life healthy, give animals a natural reservoir to drink from, as well as keeping the life in the river healthy. Though a flash flood may cause damage to buildings and habitats at first, buildings can be fixed and over time, wild flora and fauna will return to the area, often more plentiful, is there is a good amount of moisture <span />
