Why is flooding more likely after many trees are removed from an area?

Biology
1 answer:
kompoz [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Without the trees, water runs off rather than percolating into the

soil.

Explanation:

Flooding is the excessive flow of water due to increased rainfall. It usually deprives the soil of the affected area of essential nutrients. However, the presence of trees in an area can help prevent or reduce the possibility of flooding. The roots of large trees help hold the soil together, which improves the porousness of the soil. Also, trees store water that is meant to runoff.

Without the trees, the absorption or percolation of water into the ground/soil will be reduced, hence, the excess water runsoff the surface leading to flooding.

Which genetic variation occures during fertilization when the egg and sperm meet?
Zina [86]
Answer: crossing over

during the process of fertilization, a sperm and egg join together to create a zygote. since a sperm had half the number of chromosomes and an egg has half the number of chromosomes, when they join together the zygote had a complete diploid set of chromosomes. the assortment of chromosomes and crossing over promotes genetic variation during the process of reproduction
