Question

The population in your state has nearly doubled in the last fifty years. People now live in places that were once farms or forests. Land has been cleared to make room for houses and stores. Additional roads have been built so people can get to work faster. This increased development has had a major impact on your state. Which are likely effects of the increased development?

Answer 1

Answer: I just got this question lol

Increased pollution

Increased water runoff

Soil erosion

Answer 2

This development most likely occurred because more jobs were created throughout the state. The creation of more jobs means more workers are needed. Workers bring families, which means schools, stories, medical offices, and other businesses are needed to meet needs. Also, with the creation of more jobs, the economy will improve, which will also allow more improvements to occur.
