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.

describe how paleomagnetic evidence supports the theory that continents change position (drift) over time.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

At constructive margins such the mid oceanic ridge where new magma are brought to the surface, evidences abounds to support the theory of continental drift through paleomaganetism.

Continental drift is simply the moving of the land masses on earth from their original positions.

There are certain magnetic minerals in rocks that are able to record the prevailing magnetic conditions in a particular terrane. In a hot magma, at the oceanic ridge for example, these minerals align to the magnetic direction at work during the period when they are cooling. As new materials upwells, the cool layer shifts away from the margin each bearing the paleomagnetic record.

Therefore, through a series of reversals and normality in the magnetic direction, one can deduce that the continents actually moves.

According to the hierarchy, waste prevention, or reduction, is at the top, so it is the most important factor. It is followed by reuse, recycling and, finally, recovery, the landfill being the last option suggested for the destination of solid waste.
