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.

An organism that is multicellular, heterotrophic, has cell walls, and is unable to move independently would be classified into t
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
Let's see which option fits with each characteristic.

Multicellular, or having more than one cell, could be any of these Kingdoms. These are all eukaryotic kingdoms, and eukaryotes cannot be unicellular.

Heterotrophic, or something that cannot produce its own food, can be all of these except Plantae, plants of this kingdom are autotrophic, as they mainly produce their own food (think photosynthesis).

Having a cell wall applies to all of these except Animalia. Animal cells don't need cell walls, as they don't require such a rigid structure as plants. Animals will typically have other supporting structures, such as bones or hydrostatic skeletons.

Being unable to move applies to all of these Kingdoms except Animalia and Protista (which move using their cilia or flagella). Plantae and Fungi don't have the means to move by themselves.

So, the only kingdom that has not been ruled out by one of the criteria is Kingdom Fungi !

It has been known that the greatest cause of muscle atrophy is lack of physical activity, that contributes to your muscle to waste away. This can possibly happen when you accidentally injured yourself or might have a certain disease that makes it for you difficult or to move your body as well.
