Describe three human activities that may make slopes unstable

Biology
1 answer:
hoa [83]3 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.

What term is used to describe the relationship of the DNA strands to each other?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

Deoxyribose nucleic acid or DNA is the genetic material of the organism which is made up of nucleotide monomer. The structure of DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides coiled in a helical structure thus providing a double-helical shape to the structure.  

Each nucleotide of a strand is composed of a five-carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous bases. These molecules are arranged in anti-parallel fashion in DNA which provides the polarity to the DNA strand. One strand is read from the 5' to 3' direction whereas another form 3'to 5' direction.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
