1. The ease of environmental laws in Brazil leads to increased deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.
2. The loss of trees and vegetation disrupts the ecosystem, leading to habitat loss for numerous species of plants and animals.
3. The decrease in biodiversity can lead to an imbalance in the food chain, potentially causing some species to become endangered or go extinct.
4. The destruction of the rainforest also reduces its ability to sequester carbon dioxide, contributing to global warming and climate change. This can result in extreme weather patterns, rising sea levels, and other environmental consequences.
In order to expand agriculture and stimulate a sagging economy, the Brazilian government eased environmental laws which allowed large tracts of rainforest to be cut down or burned. In three to five sentences, construct a potential chain of consequences for what can happen as a result of this kind of deforestation. The chain does not have to be linear (i.e., five steps in a row), but can have several branches, one for each different potential consequence. Your chain should include at least four steps, including the original event.(4 points)
