The correct answer is - A. the Amazon Rainforest of South America.

The Amazon rainforest in South America, mostly located on the territory of Brazil, in the northern half of the country, has experienced the biggest deforestation in the world in the two decades between 1990 and 2010.

One of the biggest reasons for this extensive deforestation is that the Amazon is very beneficial for the Brazilian economy, so the country has been using the resources it offers in order to strengthen its economy.

Another reason has been that Brazil thought that it is unfair that the most powerful economies in the world, like the United States for example, have been systematically destroying their forests because of their economic interest, so they have the right to do so since it is in their own territory.

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The volume of the given pyramid is 340.8 cubic feet.

Explanation:

The volume of an object is a consideration of the dimensions of the object with respect to 3 dimensions.

volume of a pyramid = \frac{1}{3} x base area x height

But,

base area = length x width

                 = 12 x 12

                 = 144 square feet

So that,

volume of the pyramid = \frac{1}{3} x 144 x 7.1

                            = \frac{1}{3} x 1022.4

                            = 340.8

The volume of the given pyramid is 340.8 cubic feet.

Continued movement of the continental crust on the west side of the San Andreas fault could result in which of the following fea
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

San Andreas is a prominent example of a transform fault, in which the plates namely the Pacific Plate and the North American plate slide past each other. The movement of the associated plates in this fault is in the right lateral, strike-slip. With the continuous and rapid movement of both the plates in its respective direction, the west side of the fault would get detached from the fault zone and lead to the formation of an island. The movement of the plates along this fault is responsible for the occurrence of shallow focus tremendous earthquakes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
