i think the answer would be "in both eastern and western hemispheres"
Roughly 40% Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
The Amazon rainforest in Brazil lost an area about 12 times the size of New York City from August 2018 through July of this year, according to government data released Monday, which shows that deforestation in the biome has shot up significantly since the election of President Jair Bolsonaro.
The 3,769 square miles of forest cover lost during that period represents a 30 percent increase from the previous year and the highest net loss since 2008.
While there are always multiple direct and indirect drivers of deforestation, the largest contributors in Brazil, by far, are cattle ranching, demand for commodities, and logging (Butler, 2019). Cattle ranching is, as it sounds, the issue of large areas of forest being destroyed for cattle farms. This relates to the demand for commodities, as Brazil is the largest exporter of beef in the world (Yale University, 2015). The other largest commodity in the Brazilian Amazon is soybeans. In fact, Brazil is the largest exporter of soybeans in the world (Simoes et al., 2011). Soybeans require large plots of land in order to be farmed, and this land is obtained largely through deforestation. Lastly, logging, the process of obtaining wood for timber and other uses, is a very large contributor to deforestation.

Answer:
Subduction happens in Location A but not in Location B.
Explanation:
In the two descriptions, we have two different types of plate boundaries. At location A, where the plates collide, and one moves over the other while the other is pushed downward, we have a convergent plate boundary. At location B, where the plates slide past each other, we have a transform plate boundary.
- At location A, a subduction zone will occur. The subduction zone will appear at the point where the two plates collide, and if it is in the ocean, there will be a trench, if it is on land, a mountain chain will be forming.
- At location B, there will not be a subduction zone, instead, there will be a fault. A fault will occur because of the sliding past each other of the plates, as they create big pressure between each other, so at the boundary itself, there will be cracks in the crust where the crust is under immense pressure and it often results in earthquakes.
