Question

ELA.8.0037_Passage Forests cover about 31% of the land on Earth, but, sadly, that number is decreasing at a rapid rate. Deforestation, human-driven and natural loss of trees, is one of the main causes of this depletion. A natural loss of trees might come from a fire, for example, but deforestation done by humans is more common and involves removing trees to make room for something else. This can include clearing the land for farming or using the wood from trees for fuel, construction, or manufacturing. Despite these potential economic benefits, deforestation should be stopped because forests are too important for people, animals, and the environment. Write three to five sentences explaining how the author develops the key concept in this paragraph.(4 points) PLEASE HELP ME

Answer 1

Answer:

The author's key concept is that deforestation should be stopped. She/he expresses this by giving examples of deforestation, such as fire and trees being taken as fuel. She/he also states how 31% of the Earth is covered in forests, but this percentage is still rapidly decreasing. (there's your first three sentences. Hope this helps ^^)
