kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Rainforest timber is the most available natural resources in Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.

Explanation:

Central America, the Caribbean, and South America are all dominated by tropical climate types, with some exceptions here and there. Pretty much all of Central America and the Caribbean have tropical wet climate, so naturally, they are covered with tropical rainforests South America is more diverse, but on the other hand, it has the largest rainforest in the plant, the Amazon.

This leads to the countries of these regions to have an abundance of rainforest timber at disposal. Some countries have decided to largely leave the rainforests as they are and protect them while some have decided to exploit them on a large scale. There is an abundance of tree species in these regions, a lot of which are of high quality and in high demand on the global market, and a lot of countries have used this to boost their economy. Unfortunately, this has resulted in large-scale deforestation in some areas.

Kazeer [188]

That's the definition of "free fall".

We can never observe free-fall in our daily life on Earth. There's always
at least one other force besides gravity acting on a falling body, because
it's always falling through air.
