14. Forest Fires and Acres Burned Number of fires and number of acres burned are as follows: Fires x 72 69 58 47 84 62 57 45 Acres y 62 42 19 26 51 15 30 15, A Find y when x = 60 fires. 14. Forest Fires and Acres Burned An environmentalist wants to determine the relationships between the numbers (in thousands) of forest fires over the year and the number (in hundred thousands) of acres burned. The data for 8 recent years are shown. Describe the relationship. Number of fires x 72 69 58 47 84 62 57 45 Number of acres burned y 62 42 19 26 51 15 30 15

In December 2000, 53,694,993 acres of rain forest were destroyed. Which of the following facts illustrates the negative effect of their destruction on the environment? p a about rain forests A. The soil of the rain forest is low in nutrients, so farmers cannot reuse the same land every year. B. Ranchers clear and use the land for pastures for their cattle because land is inexpensive. C. Trees from the rain forest are used to supply the growing population with lumber for homes and furniture. D. The release of carbon dioxide into the air during the burning of the rain forests adds to the greenhouse effect. E. Almost half of the tropical rain forest deforestation occurs in South America.
