Answer:

The correct answer is D. The state of Montana is about the size of the area of the  Amazon that was cleared between 1990 and 2010.

Explanation:

Deforestation is the main problem that threatens the ecological stability of the Amazon jungle, generating through the reduction of forest land contamination, extinction of native species, alteration of ecosystems and many other damages to the environment.

It is calculated that more than 18,000 square kilometers of jungle are cut or burned annually, which, projected over 20 years, gives more than 360,000 square kilometers in which the Amazon jungle has been reduced due to human action. This amount of territory can be compared with the extension of the state of Montana, which has an area that exceeds 380,000 square kilometers.

Trench warfare faced challenges<br> including sanitation, injury and mud.<br><br> True<br> False
Aneli [31]
True. If you are in a trench, you are literally sitting in a hole in the dirt for hours on end; sometimes keeping watch, sometimes in the heat of battle. If you get injured, there are tons of diseases in the dirt and from humans just sitting in that hole for large amounts of time, usually without showering for days or weeks (depending on where you are and the resources available). Injury, you could get shot in the shoulder while firing, or someone could throw an active grenade into the trench and, well, it wouldn't end well. Mud-- you're sitting in a hole, in the dirt. If it rains, you are now sitting in a wet hole in the dirt, and dedication to your country--or flying bullets--is keeping you there.
