Answer:

Without the plants and algae trap and stabilize sediment, it erodes. As coral reefs degrade, habitat for marine life is lost and nearby coastlines become more susceptible to storms, waves and erosion. Corals used to form barriers to protect the shoreline from waves and storms. Without the coral reef structure buffer zones, the shorelines are more susceptible to storms, and floods, property damage, and wind erosion. The seafloor itself erodes too. This means that the seas along those coasts have become unexpectedly deep.

Why does the violence against the dalits continue throughout India
ch4aika [34]
The main reason why violence against the Dalits is continuing is the prejudice that people have against the Dalits, and which many people perceive to be a part of their religion. They belive that the Dalits should not participate in the life of the rest of Indians and they react with agression when they do.

Additionally, there might be some other inter-communal conflicts, such as between two villages.

Place the steps of hydraulic fracturing in order, with the first step on top.
lyudmila [28]

The steps of hydraulic fracturing have been placed in order as follows:

1. The targeted shale formation is drilled to the desired depth

2. The well is completed

3. Production begins with oil and gas flowing and fracturing commencing.

4. Well abandonment which entails leaving the land as it was initially..

<h3>What is hydraulic fracturing?</h3>

Hydraulic fracturing refers to the process of injecting a well with chemicals and other materials that are needed for it to release its oil content. Hydraulic fracturing often begins with the preparation of the well to be used for the purpose.

Next is the drilling of the target area. This is followed by the completion of the well, and the beginning of production. After production is completed, the well is now abandoned or returned to the way it was when production began.

Where would you be most likely to find a freshet?
valentinak56 [21]

The freshet is basically a flood that occurs because of heavy rainfall or because of the melting of a snow.

This type of flooding is most common in the valleys of the larger rivers, especially the ones that start their flow high in the mountains.

The large rivers have much more water, and they also have lot of tributaries, so when there's a heavy rainfall they receive enormous amounts of water, which easily causes a flood.

Also, when the snow melts, lot of water is released from it, and most of that water gets into the river, or first in its tributaries and that in it, so there's a high possibility of a big flood occurring suddenly.
