The answer is rainforests. The destruction of rainforests can lead to global warming due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. This is because rainforests are major carbon sinks because they sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One of the major rainforests that are facing the threat of human activities is the Amazon and Congo forests.
The answer is south america’s location atop the Nazca and South American plates of the circum-pacific belt. The circum-pacific belt is also known as the ‘ring of fire’ because there is a subduction zone in the region. The Cocos plate is subducting under the Caribbean Plate. This creates friction between the two plates with occasional release of high amounts of energies when a stuck region gets unstuck abruptly. This region accounts for approximately 90% of the world’s earthquakes.
Answer:
1. 2. chemicals in the injected fluids can get into groundwater that is used for drinking water;
B). Hydraulic fracturing allows geologists to capture natural gas stored in the pore spaces of shale.
Explanation:
- Fracking is a huge amount of the water that must be transported to sight at a significant environmental cost and occurrence of the minor tremors and is environmentally and potentially dangerous chemicals of they escape during the drilling and pollute the groundwater.
- And the hydraulic fracking is drilling methods used to extract the natural oil and gas from deep inside the earth and is used to study the geology of the earth.
They both orbit around the sun. They both have moons, rings, and colored bands. They both have gas giants.

Answer: Sillimanite, Andalusite, Kyanite and Staurolite
Explanation:
This are the four main minerals that forms in metamorphic rocks and indicates metamorphism.
Sillimanite forms at a high temperature condition, andalusite forms at a moderate temperature and pressure condition, and lastly, kyanite forms at a high pressure condition. Staurolite also forms at high temperature-pressure condition.
This four minerals forms when a rock undergoes metamorphism and are usually found in metamorphic rocks such as schist, gneiss and granulite.
