Why is amazon forest depleting

Geography
1 answer:
tangare [24]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The forests are cut down to make way for vast plantations where products such as bananas, palm oil, pineapple, sugar cane, tea, and coffee are grown. As with cattle ranching, the soil will not sustain crops for long, and after a few years, the farmers have to cut down more rainforest for new plantations.

Explanation:

The leading drivers of deforestation in the Amazon are:

Uncurbed expansion of ranching and unsustainable farming practices clear forests and leaves areas more prone to fires that can quickly become uncontrolled. That balance is upended by deforestation, forest fires, and global temperature rises. Experts warn that soon the water cycle will become irreversibly broken, locking in a trend of declining rainfall and longer dry seasons that began decades ago. At least half of the shrinking forest will give way to the savanna.
