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.

What is the diffention of Oceanic - Oceanic Boundary
ruslelena [56]

At an ocean-ocean convergent boundary, one of the plates (oceanic crust and lithospheric mantle) is pushed, or subducted, under the other (Figure 4.6. 1). Often it is the older and colder plate that is denser and subducts beneath the younger and warmer plate.Sep 17, 2019

The oceanic plate subducts into a trench, resulting in earthquakes. Melting of mantle material creates volcanoes at the subduction zone. If the magma is too viscous to rise to the surface it will become stuck in the crust to create intrusive igneous rocks

3. A student claims that dominant traits are always the most common traits. Is this true? Why or why not?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

If a trait is common or not it has very little or nothing to do with if the trait is dominant or recessive but it solely depends on total copies of the allele present in that particular population.

Dominant allele does not make an allele common, dominant term only explains that it expressed itself in presence of the recessive allele. For instance, the rolling tongue is not common even though it is a dominant allele and expressed in heterozygous condition.
