The short-term benefits of clearing rainforest areas include: land for agriculture, houses and roads. jobs for local workers in road building, logging, agriculture, mining and construction. the generation of income (often in valuable foreign currency) for the LEDC when wood, minerals, and other resources are sold.The rainforest provides many resources to support economic development.

The theory of continental drift by Alfred Wegener states that all land masses were originally united
in a single supercontinent known as Pangaea (250 million years ago). He shows
evidences like continental fit, similarity of rock sequences, glacial till and
striations, fossils (cynogathus-land reptile, lystrosaurus-land reptile,
mesosaraus-freshwater reptile, glossopteris-fern plant) to support his theory but
what was lacking is that it lacked a mechanism to explain HOW the continents
moved apart. But Harry Hess, a geologist and Navy submarine commander during
WWII <span>brought up a new
evidence to add in support of Wegener’s theory: the idea of seafloor spreading and magnetic reversals.</span>
