Part VII. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer.
Most people eat some form of animal products throughout the day. Milk, cheese, yogurt,
and meat are often a staple in our diets. Unfortunately, these products are polluting our
environment and increasing our risk for natural disasters.
Much of the Amazon rainforest is being clear-cut to make way for cattle ranches. The
removal of trees during deforestation not only leads to global warming and destroys animal
habitats, but it also disrupts the water cycle. Without trees to absorb rainwater, rainfall easily
causes flooding and soil erosion in these areas. Surprisingly, deforestation can also lead to severe
droughts. Trees are an important part of the water cycle, bringing ground water back into the
atmosphere. Less trees means less rainfall, increasing the risk for drought.
In 2004, Hurricane Jeanne heavily damaged Haiti, leading to hundreds of deaths and severe
damage to human communities. Scientists have shown that the damage was especially severe
due to the massive deforestation in Haiti. Much of its tropical rainforests have been cut down to
make way for industry. Without trees to buffer the storm, the death toll of this storm surged.
