Question

what was one environmental impact of the introduction of european livestock, like cattle and sheep, in the americas?
○ livestock had no impact on the land.
○ native plants adapted quickly to the new animals.
○ the environment remained unchanged.
○ overgrazing by some animals led to soil erosion and loss of native plants.

Explanation:

When European livestock (cattle, sheep) were introduced to the Americas, overgrazing by these animals occurred. Overgrazing removes vegetation (native plants) and disrupts soil stability, causing soil erosion. The other options are incorrect: livestock did impact the land, the environment changed, and native plants were not adapted to these new animals (rather, the animals' grazing harmed native plants).

Answer:

Overgrazing by some animals led to soil erosion and loss of native plants.
