The correct answers are:

- Decrease in rainfall in the Mojave desert;

The decrease in rainfall can be devastating to a lake's waters and biodiversity. The decrease in rain usually causes bigger loss of water through evaporation than water coming in the lake, so over time it will dry out, or just small pieces of it will remain.

- Decrease in runoff that flows into Mojave Lake;

If the amount of water that comes into the lake decreases, it can be fatal to it, and in a very short period of time, since the lake will be losing more water than it gets in.

- Increase in blocked streams that flow into Mojave Lake;

Naturally, streams can be blocked and redirected, so if this happens, we have the same situation from before, where the water income is smaller than the water loss of the lake.

Why is soil important?
balandron [24]

Answer:

1- Soil filters our water, provides essential nutrients to our forests and crops, and helps regulate the Earth's temperature as well as many of the important greenhouse gases.

2- Soil erosion is the displacement of the upper layer of soil; it is a form of soil degradation. This natural process is caused by the dynamic activity of erosive agents, that is, water, ice, snow, air, plants, animals, and humans.

3- Humans affect erosion rates in a number of ways across the globe. ... Human activities such as repeatedly walking or biking the same trails or areas can also contribute to erosion slowly over time. Forest fires also contribute to soil erosion, as vegetation previously holding the soil in place is often destroyed

4 - The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species. And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen flooding.

5 - You can reduce soil erosion by:

Maintaining a healthy, perennial plant cover.

Mulching.

Planting a cover crop – such as winter rye in vegetable gardens. ...

Placing crushed stone, wood chips, and other similar materials in heavily used areas where vegetation is hard to establish and maintain.
