Imagine that in certain areas throughout the world, rainforest environments are mysteriously dying out, along with the plant and animal species that inhabit them. As a famous geographer, you set out with your team of scientists to investigate. Apply geography's three questions to this situation. Which questions would you ask to help figure out why these rainforests are dying out?

From a geographical perspective, three questions that could be formulated are:

1. Is the rainforest ecosystem dying out due to a change in climate and weather patterns?

2. If the answer is yes, is this change a product of human activity, or a product of natural forces?

3. If the answer is that it is a product of human activity, what are the activities that are affecting the ecosystem? how can they be prevented or reduced?
