Explanation:

First Question:

Urban sprawl is more common in the Southeast U.S. due to factors like lower land costs, warmer climate attracting development, and less dense pre - existing urban structures compared to the Northeast. The Pacific Northwest has more strict growth management, and the Rocky Mountains have less urban development.

Urban sprawl leads to people living farther from work, so they commute longer by car. More car use means higher vehicle emissions, which contribute to air pollution. Deforestation is not the main direct link, public transport use is discouraged, and energy usage increases, not decreases.

Urban sprawl often offers more affordable housing and larger properties in suburbs as land is cheaper and less densely developed. It doesn't reduce environmental damage, taxes aren't necessarily lower, and public transport access is less in sprawled areas.
