Describe three human activities that may make slopes unstable

Biology
1 answer:
hoa [83]4 years ago
8 0
Three human activities that may make the slopes unstable are the following:

1. Deforestation

Cutting off trees may result to loose soil since there will be lesser roots that will hold the soil together. When rain water runs off the slope, it will make the slope more unstable, resulting to mud/land slide.

2. Water excavation/extraction

This may also result to unstable slope, because the soil may sink as more water is extracted from the ground to supply the need of the growing population. In extreme cases, this may result to the formation of sinkhole.

3. Drilling of the earth
  
Drilling may result to unstable slope if is done in a landslide prone area as it will disturb the formation of rocks and soil.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The relationships include symbiosis, predation and competition.

Explanation:

Organisms relate with each other in different ways in the environment. Such relationships include:

Competition: This deals with the struggle between organisms for food and other available resources. The strongest and fittest usually have a higher chance of survival.

Predation: This is the process by which bigger animals prey on smaller animals for food. This helps in movement of energy in the trophic levels and also the balancing of the eco system.

Symbiosis: This is a mutual relationship in which two organisms form a type of partnership and benefit positively from each other.

Answer:

it may affect the animals and other tree's.

Explanation:

it may affect animals because since it is a new tree, you might not know that it may be harmful for some animals, like maybe the berries the produce are poisonous or fruits some animals are forbidden to eat. this may be a problem because some animals may accidentally eat that fruit and possibly be injured or die.

trees need sunlight and food, if another tree hopes in suddenly there would be more competition for sunlight and water, there may also be not enough water and sunlight for all the trees to share. this is a problem because if the trees can't get enough sunlight and water, they would die and this leads to a broken home for the animals living in that tree.
