• deforestation

• standardization

A problem with deforestation is that it changes the climate and ecosystem. Rains become less common and the land becomes subject to:

• drought

• snow fall

Another problem with deforestation is that there are less tree roots to hold the soil together and absorb the water. When it does rain, these can be common problems:

• erosion and floods

• bountiful crops

• new trees will grown on farm land

• William had bad luck hunting

• the dog ate too much food

• SADMARC

• ADMARC

• BADMARC

A problem William experiences in waiting in line for his maize ration is:
