Question

Canada loses over 500,000 hectares of Boreal Forest each year due to A) pine beetles. B) suburban sprawl. C) clear-cutting for consumer products. D) the expansion of the cattle industry.

Answer 1

The answer should be clear cutting.The massive Canadian Boreal Forest is being lost due to clear-cutting for consumer products such as toilet paper and facial tissues. Many groups, including the Canadian government, are working to slow this loss, though much damage has already been done.

Answer 2

The correct answer is Clear-cutting for customer products. That is a process of cutting down every single tree in an area. The wood is then used for many things, from toothpicks to car interrior parts, to toys. However, this won't be able to go on forever since trees are cut down much faster than they are produced, so Canada is at a loss.
