I’m pretty sure the answer is c
The potato crop devastation occurred in Ireland for not using one single potato species.
Explanation:
Potato became the staple crop of 18th Century Ireland and was easy to grow in the soil of this place. Later, it became the most dependent crop of the people of Ireland which made its supply very demanding leading to the yielding of more than one species of potatoes.
This yielding reduced the variety in the genetics of potatoes that helped in preventing the disease that affect potatoes by making the Irish people susceptible to famine. The Phytopthora bacteria affected the potatoes of North America in the year 1840 and Ireland’s moist weather in that same year made the blight to thrive.
D) Contour plowing is used to reduce erosion and sediment pollution.
Explanation:
Contour plowing in farming helps to prevent pollution by reducing surface erosion of topsoil and preventing sediment pollution.
Contour plowing is a farming technique in which crops are planted along the slopes of hills or contoured areas.
- The rate at which rain water and precipitation moves along slope terrain is very fast.
- This causes the washing off of the the topsoil on hills to eroded very fast.
- Contour plowing breaks the slope and farming is done along movement on the contour.
- This prevents topsoil erosion.
- It also prevents sediment pollution in nearby streams and water bodies that are located around the valley at the base of the hill.
