Question

the problem of has caused soil exhaustion and erosion in the amazon rainforest. a. tectonic activity b. reforestation c. deforestation

Explanation:

• Tectonic activity refers to the movement of the Earth's plates and is not directly related to soil exhaustion and erosion in the Amazon Rainforest in this context.
• Reforestation is the process of replanting trees, which would help prevent soil issues rather than cause them.
• Deforestation (the clearing of trees) removes the root systems that hold soil in place. Without trees, soil is more vulnerable to being washed or blown away (erosion), and over - time, without the natural nutrient - cycling processes that trees are part of, soil can become exhausted.

Answer:

C. deforestation
