Destruction of citrus crops

Spread of malaria

Pollution of the Pacific Ocean

Removal of large tracts of trees

Answer 1

The correct option is: "Removal of large tracts of trees"

The process of industrialization represents the most dynamic aspect of the phenomenon of development. It is evident that the countries that today are considered developed have gone through such a process of industrialization that has modified the structure of their entire system. The case of the USA does not escape this thesis, which is why we see that the rapid industrialization that Sufi, the northeastern region of the USA had many negative consequences for the environment, hundreds of native trees were demolished and in the process water and air were contaminated.

Answer 2

Due to the industrialization in the American Northeast, removal of large tracts of trees were done. There was huge destruction of natural resources. There were no rules and regulations regarding the destruction of tress. So there was no restriction as far as cutting down trees were concerned. There was also a lot of air pollution due to fumes from factories. The soil also got polluted very easily due to the chemicals used in the factories. The environmental damage was so huge that it would have taken decades to get rid of them.
