Creative Writing: Write a paragraph that describes at least one way that the people of Southeast Asia depend on its waterways.
Answer:
The water ways and their deltas (where the river branches off into the ocean) deposit valuable nutrients into soil as they pass, making the soil fertile. Because of these nutrients, food and other crops may be grown by the rivers, feeding the country's people. If the water ways went away, the ground could support itself for a while but eventually fail when the new nutrients don't come from the river. This makes a dependence on the water ways for food and crops. Without the waterways, the people of Southeast Asian countries would either starve or be in major debt because of having to pay other countries for food.

I am both for and against the expansion. On one hand, the rainforests were home to many unique species or plants ad animals, as well as a valuable source for oxygen.
