Answer:

1- Soil filters our water, provides essential nutrients to our forests and crops, and helps regulate the Earth's temperature as well as many of the important greenhouse gases.

2- Soil erosion is the displacement of the upper layer of soil; it is a form of soil degradation. This natural process is caused by the dynamic activity of erosive agents, that is, water, ice, snow, air, plants, animals, and humans.

3- Humans affect erosion rates in a number of ways across the globe. ... Human activities such as repeatedly walking or biking the same trails or areas can also contribute to erosion slowly over time. Forest fires also contribute to soil erosion, as vegetation previously holding the soil in place is often destroyed

4 - The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species. And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen flooding.

5 - You can reduce soil erosion by:

Maintaining a healthy, perennial plant cover.

Mulching.

Planting a cover crop – such as winter rye in vegetable gardens. ...

Placing crushed stone, wood chips, and other similar materials in heavily used areas where vegetation is hard to establish and maintain.

Mycoplasmas differ from other bacteria in that they Lack a cell wall.

Mycoplasmas are different from bacteria as it can cause a wide range of infections and diseases. Mycoplasmas are phenotypically distinguished from other bacteria by their small size and complete absence of a cell wall. Lack of cell wall can be used to separate the mycoplasms from bacteria. It is a genus of bacteria that, like other members of the class Mollicutes, lack a cell wall around their cell membranes. Peptidoglycan is absent. This property makes them naturally resistant to antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. They can be parasitic or saprotrophic

leonid [27]
<span>The part of the ear where sound wave compressions and rarefactions cause the eardrum to vibrate is the middle ear. The 8th nerve in the inner ear actually converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy for transmitting to the brain. A membrane called the tympanic membrane separates the middle ear from the outer ear. Whenever a sound reaches the ear, it creates a sound wave that creates vibration in the eardrum. The pressure when high pushes the membrane inwards while low pressure sound waves helps the eardrum to come outwards.  </span>
