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.

bogdanovich [222]
Oh god so many. First off, because the produce is being modified from its original/natural state, it does not fit in with environment. Meaning you have organisms (plant and animals) that go extinct and what not. Also there are certain chemicals that are not supposed to be present in this produce, and that not only affects people, but those pollutants infect the soil/plants/water/animals. Everything is a system, and when you tamper with it, it goes out of balance. But those are some of the things I can list. Hope it helped

Sickle cell anemia and albinism are both recessive traits in humans. The genes for these traits are located on different chromos
Liula [17]

Answer:

Given that, both parents are heterozygous. Now, the chances for one child to inherit one defective gene from each parent = ½*1/2 =¼.

Similarly, the probability of being affected by albinism =Probability of inheriting one defective gene from each parent = ½*½ = ¼

The probability of not being affected = 1- the probability of being affected = 1-1/4 = ¾.

Now, the chances of not being affected by both albinism and sickle cell anemia = ¾*3/4 = 9/16.

The probability of neither twins be affected = 9/16*9/16 =81/256.
