Which example most clearly shows a distant human-environment connection?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Soy demand in one country increasing deforestation in another
The demand for soy in one country can influence production decisions, land prices and forest conversion in another country through international trade. The consumption and environmental change occur in different places, which is the defining feature of a distant human-environment connection. The other examples may involve environmental processes or local actions, but they do not clearly show a long-distance social link.
