Global warming in the atmosphere is increasing the amount of wild fires happening.

Which statements best identify tornado forecasting patterns that are supported by the data?

Populations onthe East Coast of the United States are at a greater risk from tornadoes during the winter monthsNorthern states have less risk of being affected by tornadoes than southern states. Areas in the central United States need tornado shelters

Deforestation is common in areas that are used to raise cattle and grow crops. Which set of information describes the best way humans could reduce this impact on the environment?
