C

Cutting trees reduces vegetation that protect soil from agents of erosion. The roots of trees offer organic matter on which soil particles bind to and hence become less easily carried away by water runoff or wind. Trees also act as good windbreakers hence reducing the speed at which winds can carry oil particles.

Explanation:

A decrease in trees also means increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is because trees are major carbon sinks because they sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into their tissue through photosynthesis. Trees also evolve oxygen during photosynthesis. This supply of oxygen is important in safeguarding the ozone from degradation. A decrease in ozone would cause an increase in penetration of UV radiation that harms genetic material.

9. Which forces do scientists believe are responsible for the movement of Earth's
SIZIF [17.4K]
The main reason why the tectonic plates move is the conversational currents. There is magma between the upper mantle and the asthenosphere that heats up at the upper mantle. The weight is so small that the magma rises with the help of these conversational currents. When the magma has ascended towards the asthenosphere, it has nowhere to go so the magma lies along the asthenosphere. There the magma cools down again because the asthenosphere is colder than the upper mantle, which makes the magma heavier and goes back down to the upper mantle, where the magma heats up again and everything starts all over again and so it goes on over and over again. Scientists have concluded that the earth's gravity causes two other processes that also cause the tectonic plates to move.

Ridge push - in the spreading zones, the sides of the tiles are raised and slide to the side as in a slide.
Slab pull - when a plate is pulled down by gravity in a subduction zone like an anchor.

Why does a lunar eclipse only last a few hours?
Blababa [14]
Lunar eclipses occur when the earth comes between the Sun and the Moon. This positioning quickly changes due to both the Earth and the Moon orbiting around the sun and each other.
