Answer:

Many experts believe that the Interoceanic Highway will lead to increased deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest.

Explanation:

The Amazon Rainforest is located in South America and it is the largest rainforest in the world. This rainforest though has been under immense pressure because of the destruction of it by human activities and interests. The Amazon Rainforest is shrinking rapidly and if this tempo continues it will be gone in the near future and the whole world will feel the consequences.

Apart from the opening space for agriculture, mining, ranching, urbanization, this rainforest is predicted to suffer losses because of the Interoceanic Highway as well. This highway is a project with which there will be a highway starting from the Pacific coast in Peru and ending at the Atlantic coast in Brazil. A big portion of this highway will pass through the Amazon rainforest and with it a lot of deforestation will take place. While deforestation itself will have terrible effects, the biodiversity will suffer because its territory will be cut and separated, and a lot of animals will be killed on the highway by the traffic.

1. _______when wind allows cold dense water to rise from the bottom of the ocean to the surface.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

upwelling
obliquity
thermohaline circulation
Milankovitch cycles
eccentricity
precession

Explanation:

Upwelling is a process of the winds that drives away the warm water from the surface and bring up the cold and dense water from below.

Obliquity is the nature of the axial tilt of the earth i.e 23.5 ° Due to the equator bulge and other properties of the earth.

The thermohaline circulation is the global circulation of the waster that is created by the gradient flow of the surface heat and the freshwater influxes.

Milankovitch cycles are the effect of the changes in the earth's movements in climatic patterns over a thousands of years period.

Eccentricity is the orbital rotation of the earth around the sun on its axis and has more of a circular elliptical path.

The precession is the change in the orientation of the axial tilt of the planet in reference to the rotating body.
