8 0

Answer: temperature variations, human activity, leaching of the soil

Explanation:

Desertification is a kind of land degradation process which is seen in drylands. In this process the temperature or weather condition of a region is severely affected this is associated with low annual rainfall, the soil looses moisture and is subjected to wind erosion. Human activity also contributes to the desertification due to clear cutting of the land and clearing up of the vegetation as a result of this the soil looses it's productivity due to erosion. Leaching is a process of loss of water soluble minerals from the soil which will also cause desertification.

Which of the drugs (if either) was more successful in preventing the recurrence of depression relative to the placebo?
Alex17521 [72]
The results clearly reveal that Imipramine is by far more effective than Lithium in preventing the recurrence of depression. 62.16% of the patients taking Lithium had a recurrence of depression which is more than twice that of patients who took Imipramine (28.95%). 

The results also question the effectiveness of Lithium in general since the percentage of patients who had a recurrence of depression in the Placebo group (67.65%) is only slightly higher than that of the Lithium group (62.16%).

Answer:

Every winter, Arctic sea ice grows around the pole, its frozen tendrils threading along northern coasts. Right now sea ice has just passed its peak coverage for the year, and will begin to shrink with the coming of spring. It’s a crucial time for polar bears, whose food supply is inextricably linked to sea ice.

And in recent decades, sea ice has been shrinking faster than ever. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, 2019 has the seventh-lowest sea ice cover in the Arctic since they began collecting satellite data 40 years ago.

This year “doesn't break any records, but it's the trend that matters,” says University of Alberta polar bear scientist Andrew Derocher. “The downward trend in Arctic sea ice across all months is the concern,” he says, and “now we wait to see what spring conditions bring.” (Read more about global warming’s link to polar bears.)

A cold spring allows ice to linger, giving polar bears easier access to one of their favorite foods: seals. A warm spring cuts short the availability of their food super-highway....

In what location would primary succession most likely occur? An area that was covered by a glacier An area that was in a long dr
Virty [35]
An area that was covered by a glacier

Primary succession is a method of bringing about fertility in infertile land that can not be cultivated. This method usually involves plant species known as "pioneer species", that do not rely heavily on soil nutrients but add nutrients to the soil. The land under the glacier is likely to be void of nutrients and infertile, so primary succession will be needed there the most.
