Which of the following is a likely consequence of the completion of the interoceanic highway?
a.
increased biodiversity
b.
decreased mining activity in peru
c.
increased deforestation in the amazon rainforest
d.
reduced travel times between the us and chile

The correct answer is - C. increased deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest.

The Interoceanic Highway is a project that will be very useful and of great economic importance for most of South America. This highway will be connecting the western coast of the continent with the eastern coast of the continent, passing through the territories of Peru and Brazil.

Unfortunately, big portion of this highway will go through the Amazon Rainforest. That means that lot of vegetation will be cleared in order for the highway to be built, as well as for all the other things that accompany the highway. That will result in even more deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest, endangering numerous species of flora and fauna, and constant wildlife deaths on the highway.
