Question

which of the following is a way humans have impacted the rainforests, but not the tundra?a. oil drillingb. miningc. overgrazingd. loggingplease select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

• Oil drilling: Occurs in tundra (e.g., Arctic regions) for oil extraction.
• Mining: Happens in tundra (e.g., for minerals like diamonds in cold regions).
• Overgrazing: Can occur in tundra (e.g., by reindeer - like herbivores in some tundra - adjacent pastoral areas).
• Logging: Requires large - scale tree felling. Tundra has very few trees (mostly low - lying shrubs and mosses), while rainforests have dense tree cover, making logging a significant impact on rainforests but not tundra.

Answer:

D. logging
