Higher energy needs result in an increase in dam construction.
O Growing populations reduce demands on food supply.
O Overgrazing and expansion of farming results in larger areas of forest.
O Increasing elevation leads to warmer temperatures.

Answer 1

Higher energy needs result in an increase in dam construction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The demand for energy is constantly on the rise, not just in some countries or regions, but globally. This is due to the constantly growing economies and a constantly growing population. In order to satisfy the demand for energy, numerous methods are used, and one of them is the construction of dams.

The dams are basically barriers set on the rivers, which also have set mechanisms for the production of energy by harvesting the power of the water. Across the world, there are countless dams that have been built, and every day there are new ones. Some dams are so big and produce so much energy that they will singlehandedly be able to supply several smaller countries with energy without any problem. On the other hand, there are a lot of dams that are very small and built on very small rivers, and these are used for local purposes, usually for smaller villages.
