Which concept describes environmental relationships over long distances?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Consumption in one region affecting resources and environments elsewhere
Telecoupling describes strong social, economic and environmental interactions between distant places. Consumption in one region can create demand for land, water, energy or minerals in another region through trade and supply chains. The environmental effect may therefore be separated from the place where the final product is used. A expresses this distant connection; the other options describe locality or isolation.
