anyone want to help me? (deforestation)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure, what do you need help with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay my first one: 1. Describe deforestation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Deforestation is the conversion of forested areas to non-forested. Historically, this meant conversion to grassland or to its artificial counterpart, grainfields

OpenStudy (anonymous):

S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So this would be like the destruction of a rainforest for farming area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

more like a conversion of a forest into a farming area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so is this a good answer; Deforestation is the conversion of an area once a forest to an area non-forested.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly! [claps loudly]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

medal please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay this is my next one: 2. List one cause of deforestation and the effect associated with that cause.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm this is a little more complicated

OpenStudy (anonymous):

People needing area for farming would be a cause right?

OpenStudy (somy):

cause - think of life need- buildings, markets etc effects - think of role of tree in life

OpenStudy (somy):

deforestation - is removal/cutting off trees on the land which changes it to clear land that then can be used for different purposes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so cause; need for area for landscape. Effect: Animals living in the area could be at risk.

OpenStudy (somy):

more like need are for construction effect is good - but to be more specific, deforestation- destroys habitat of living organisms in that area that was initially a forest thus putting their lives at risk (no food, no home= basically death)

OpenStudy (somy):

well if they cant adapt to changes***

OpenStudy (somy):

does it make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So destroys habitats, puts lots of animals in danger, leaving them without food.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is my cause good?

OpenStudy (somy):

without food and home* yep its good enough

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay let me go type this in be right back

OpenStudy (somy):

mkay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My next one is: 3. Describe urbanization.

OpenStudy (somy):

what is it? do you know it yourself yet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I read about it but it didnt stay in my head

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So how does it cause pollution?

OpenStudy (somy):

think how crowded will it be and how amount of cars and factories would effect the nature

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So urbanization is when people build more buildings in one area?

OpenStudy (somy):

urbanization is a process by which towns and cities are formed and become larger as more and more people begin living and working in central areas

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so the growth of cities in deforested areas?
