Answer: D.  transportation time and shipping costs being reduced

Explanation:

As a result of advancements in transportation of goods across different areas, getting agricultural produce from rural to urban areas became cheaper and more efficient. This reduced the need for people to have to engage in Agriculture in the urban areas since they could just buy the produce they wanted relatively easily.

This freed up land for other ventures such as more housing, business and sports centres as well as other structures and not forgetting areas reserved for the facilities needed to transport the goods from other areas to urban areas.

A soil's infiltration capacity A. typically increases when dense vegetation is present at ground level. B. is eliminated on bare
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The infiltration process refers to the downward percolation of water through the soils and gets mixed up with the groundwater. This plays an important role in the water cycle. This water percolation depends upon the following factors, such as-

(1) Rate of precipitation

(2) Type of soil

(3) vegetation cover

(4) Slope of the land surface

(5) Porosity and permeability of the soil (rock).

The rate of infiltration increases with the increasing vegetation cover in that particular area. The plants absorb the water by their roots during rainfall, and this water can flow towards the deeper parts of the roots. The excess water is then allowed to pass through the interconnected pores within the soil (rock), and eventually gets added to the groundwater.

Thus, the presence of dense vegetation in an area favors the rate of the infiltration process.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).
