In the semi arid regions of China, the country's inhabitants have practiced water harvesting for generations. Water harvesting i

s the process of collecting rainfall and/or runoff for later use. How does this water conservation method help the environment?
A) Water harvesting causes drought-like conditions the rest of the year.
B) Harvesting water during the rainy season has damaged the ecosystem by killing some of the organisms.
C) By collecting run off during the rainy season for future irrigation increases the agricultural production.
D) Run off is one of the main sources of drinking water so there is a shortage of drinking water the remaining part of the year.

Answer: C) By collecting run off during the rainy season for future irrigation increases the agricultural production

Explanation:

Water harvesting is a process of collection of rain water by using special water storing systems. This water storage practice helps during the scarcity of water like in dry summer seasons and in conditions of drought. Such water can be treated with filters to make it potable for drinking. But generally the water is used for the purpose of irrigation in the agricultural field and household sanitary requirements.

On the basis of the above description, By collecting run off during the rainy season for future irrigation increases the agricultural production is the correct option.

What evidence did wegener have to support his theory of plate tectonics?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe, and other continents showed the same trend. Wegner also analyzed both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils and noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants.

1.   A car travels along a straight road to the east for 100 meters in 4 seconds, then go the west for 50 meters in 1 second.
Alla [95]

Answer:

a.Distance = 150 m

b. Displacement = 50 m

Time lapsed = 5 seconds

Explanation:

a. Distance is the change in the position of an object.

The distance covered by the car = 100 + 50

                                                   = 150 m

b. Since displacement is a vector quantity,

Displacement of the car = 100 - 50

                                        = 50 m due east

c. Time elapsed is the time taken for the motion of the car starting from when its starts to when it stops.

Thus, the time elapsed = 4 + 1

                        = 5 seconds
