First, do you know what deforestation is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Okay, so what are some reasons why deforestation may occur?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For money, paper, homes.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Right, so you just gave yourself a few possible answers right there. I would personally say something like this: Two ways that humans have contributed to the deforestation of Brazil are to clear more land for housing and also for resources such as money and other paper products.

Describe how deforestation has impacted the environment of Brazil

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Do you have any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess helping with supplies and families.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Well, that's how it has affected the people.. It asks about the environment, though..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The word impact can go both ways right? I mean good and bad?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Yes, but deforestation has impacted the environment of Brazil negatively.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The trees and plants could trying to start growing in and around Brazil.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

That's only if people tried to plant more trees.. Deforestation takes away all the trees (which also takes away the homes of the animals that lived in or around those trees).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By deforestation it takes away the correct fertilization from the forests right? so if I am correct once the people of Brazil settled in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the environment wasn't able to get the correct fertilization that it needed

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So this would count as an example?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

That would count, but I would also include that it takes away homes for the wildlife that lives in the trees, such as birds.
