Answer:

Dune

Explanation:

Dunes are mounds of loosed sand piled up by the action of wind. The sand that makes up dune are usually well sorted .The reason for it well sorted nature is because of the wind ability to select the sizes of the loose sand it can carry. Fine grain silt and clay can easily be carried by wind and can be carry farther away than other sizes of grains. Well rounded sand grains can be carried(roll) more easily than angular grains of sand. The selective nature of the wind influence the kind and sizes of sand grains that forms the Dune.

Dunes are likely to develop in area that posses strong wind blowing in a specific direction. Dunes are mostly found in desert area. Such as the Sahara desert.

What has been the effect of Israel’s use of drip irrigation?
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

great increases in agricultural productivity

Explanation:

The goal and aim of the drip irrigation method is to cut the volume of water used for irrigation. Usually, normal irrigation involves channeling water into a field in order to provide another option for limited water regime in an area. This procedure wastes water a lot and can cause fertilizers to reach ground water systems. Sometimes, if not correctly applied, they can wash nutrients away from the soil into nearby water bodies.

Israel developed a drip water system which directly applies water in form of drips to farm crops instead of flooding the whole field. This will help to save more water and prevent ground water pollution. Adoption of this method has led a spike in Israel's agricultural productivity and more water has been conserved for other use.
