Question

In some regions of the world, forests are cut down and then burned to create room for farmland. How might this local environmental change affect people living on the East Coast of the United States?

A.
It could raise oxygen levels in the ocean, allowing for larger populations of fish.
B.
It could contribute to rising temperatures and rising sea levels.
C.
It could reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is released into the air.
D.
It could help farms to produce more crops by enriching their soil.

Answer 1

The correct answer is b, because environmental changes in one part of the world can have consequences for other parts of the world. When farmland is produced by burning large amounts of forest, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases contribute to rising temperatures and rising sea levels, which could impact people living along the East Coast of the U.S.

Answer 2

It's Like a Chain Reaction.

So, The Answer is :

It Could Contribute to rising temperatures and rising sea levels

Option B is the Answer
