Answer:

Deforestation and Cultivation

Explanation:

First I am going to give the <u><em>definition of deforestation:</em></u>

Deforestation is basically the removal of trees.

<u>The removal of trees leaves leaves very little vegetative cover to hold heavy rain fall.</u> This is why mudslides and things happen. When the land is clear and flat, the water keeps on going instead of going into the soil. That water that keeps on going is called <em>runoff water.</em><em> </em>If we planted trees by the rivers, that could take down the height of the floods in towns by 20%

At first I was going to say widening rivers, but that is a way to manage river water. When we lengthen the river, it is so that the water can take more time to reach the river canal.

<u><em>Definition of Cultivation</em></u>: The production of food by preparing the land to grow crops (especially on a large scale) animal husbandry - breeding and caring for farm animals. agriculture, tree farming - the cultivation of tree for the production of timber.

I was also going to say Cultivation. <u>Over-cultivation is the excessive use of farmland to the point where productivity falls due to soil exhaustion or land degradation</u>. Now this is actually why we have floods in the USA. <u>The soil cannot soak up any water, therefore the water over flows and that is when a flood starts to happen.</u>

I know this took some time but hope I could help :)

What mass of water was produced if 350.0 L of carbon dioxide were made at STP? C3H8 (g) + 5O2(g) → 2CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g)
madam [21]

700 L of water was produced if 350.0 L of carbon dioxide were made at STP.

The quantitative relationship (ratio) between reactants and products in a chemical reaction that produces gases is known as gas stoichiometry. When the created gases are presumed to be ideal and their temperature, pressure, and volume are all known, gas stoichiometry is applicable.

The ideal gas equation is PV=nRT, where n is the number of moles and R is the gas constant, P is the pressure measured in atmospheres (atm), V is the volume measured in liters (L), and

Calculations based on stoichiometry assist scientists and engineers who work in the business world in estimating the number of items they will make using a particular process. They can also assist in determining if a product will be economical to produce.

Reduced growth, reproduction, and survivability for the consumer are typically the results of a significant stoichiometric imbalance between the primary producer and consumer.

Anna [14]

Answer:

hypertonic solution

Explanation:

Hypertonic solution -

It is the solution, with more amount of solute than the solvent , is known as hypertonic solution.

Now, is some substance is immersed in such solution , the substance gets shrinked , because , the solvent from the substance moves out of it and moves to the hypertonic solution.

Hence, the pickles gets shrinked up , as they put in a hypertonic solution.
