which statement best analyzes the environmental impacts that satellites out on natural resources in the Amazon rainforest in the mid-2000s
A. Satellite imagery data convinced the Brazilian government to reduce national and state park land in the rainforest.
B. Satellite imagery data decreased the number of large deforestation projects in the Amazon rainforest.
C. Satellite imagery data increased deforestation of the amazon rain forest
D. Satellite imagery data caused additional habitat fragmentation.
The correct answer is D. Satellite imagery data caused additional habitat fragmentation.
Satellite imagery data provided information about the location and extent of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest in the mid-2000s. This information allowed for the identification of areas that were at high risk for deforestation or that had already been deforested. As a result, governments, corporations, and other stakeholders could target these areas for further development or exploitation, leading to habitat fragmentation. This fragmentation can have detrimental effects on the Amazon rainforest's ecosystems and its biodiversity.
