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.

Theory of Continental Drift

If you take a look at a map of the earth today, you will see the current locations of broken land masses that constitute the earth. However, would you believe if someone told you that these broken land masses were once connected to each other as one huge supercontinent?  Well, this claim was made in the 90’s by Alfred Wegener, a German polar researcher, meteorologist and geophysicist who died in 1930.

Wegener’s theory of continental drift states that the existing continents of the earth were once glued together forming a super landmass. Over time, the landmass broke and drifted away and is still drifting to this day. In his proposal, he stated that the super content, which he named Pangaea, meaning ‘’all earth” once existed. The supercontinent was surrounded by water bodies, mainly oceans, and seas.
