A recent scientific study of the land surrounding a large city has found a 40 percent decrease in forest area and 60 percent decrease in wildlife over ten years. Which factor has most likely caused this occurrence?

acid rain

urban sprawl

air pollution

climate change

Respuesta :

I think the answer is Urban Sprawl, because when that happens, trees are cut down to make room for cities/towns, and when trees are cut down there is less of a chance for wildfires.

The factor that has most likely caused this occurrence is Urban Sprawl.

Urban Expansion is fostered by increases on Population and requires additional space from surrounding Areas at the expense of destroying Forest Areas and Wildlife within, as cheapest and most common response mechanism to Urban Expansion is the Horizontal Growth.

Hence, we conclude that factor that has most likely caused this occurrence is Urban Sprawl.
