Question

farming helps many people earn a living, but it also presents challenges. many of these challenges are environmental, meaning they are challenges that affect the environment of a place. match each environmental challenge to the activity that causes it. overfarming can cause the soil to lose nutrients. to continue to grow crops, farmers must use chemical fertilizers, which can be toxic. vehicles that use gasoline or other similar fuels often cause air pollution. many plants and animals are threatened because parts of their environment are destroyed. activity related to farming: thousands of tractors, trucks, and cars are used to harvest and transport crops. one piece of land is used to grow the same crop over and over. crops are grown on that land all year round. thousands of trees are burned or cut down to make space for agriculture. this process is called deforestation.

Explanation:

Over - farming (growing the same crop repeatedly on a piece of land all year round) causes soil nutrient loss and need for chemical fertilizers. Vehicles used in harvesting and transporting crops (tractors, trucks, cars) that use gasoline cause air pollution. Deforestation (burning or cutting down trees for agriculture) destroys the environment of many plants and animals.

Answer:

• "Overfarming can cause the soil to lose nutrients. To continue to grow crops, farmers must use chemical fertilizers, which can be toxic." matches "One piece of land is used to grow the same crop over and over. Crops are grown on that land all year round."
• "Vehicles that use gasoline or other similar fuels often cause air pollution." matches "Thousands of tractors, trucks, and cars are used to harvest and transport crops."
• "Many plants and animals are threatened because parts of their environment are destroyed." matches "Thousands of trees are burned or cut down to make space for agriculture. This process is called deforestation."
