1. Potentially, animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork and perhaps even words—as animated and alive.
Answer:
Shifting cultivation is an agricultural system in which plots of land are cultivated temporarily, then abandoned while post-disturbance fallow vegetation is allowed to freely grow while the cultivator moves on to another plot. The period of cultivation is usually terminated when the soil shows signs of exhaustion or, more commonly, when the field is overrun by weeds. The length of time that a field is cultivated is usually shorter than the period over which the land is allowed to regenerate by lying fallow.
Explanation:
Nutrient cycle is the exchange of organic and inorganic matter between physical environment and living organisms .
Hence , when the neighbor is applying fertilizers, then he is giving essential providing macro nutrients (phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium) to the soil. But soil will have both micro and macro nutrients in balance. Excess macronutrients will reduce micronutrients availability , as plant may not be using all the nutrients supplied by the neighbor . This will cause the accumulation of nitrogen in the soil thus affecting the nitrogen cycle (nitrogen cycle is one of the Earth's biogeochemical cycles). Plants will get nitrogen from soil and bacteria will convert it to a usable form , but readily available excess nitrogen will allow <u>the growth of weeds</u>, and<u> washing of these nutrients will create eutrophication situation.</u> In usual cases plants absorbs nitrogen in the form of nitrates and bacterial also converts ammonium into nitrates, the denitrifying bacteria converts this nitrate to nitrites and nitrogen gas. The excessive availability of nitrogen from fertilizer will disturb the balance of nitrogen available in the soil .
Answer:
During El Niño, the jet stream is oriented from west to east across the southern portion of the United States. Thus, this region becomes more susceptible to severe weather outbreaks during the winter. Conversely, during La Niña, the jet stream and severe weather are likely to be farther north.
Explanation:
False. Deserts do not expand linearly or in mappable patterns due to the changing nature of weather patterns. Deserts are formed through the process of erosion which breaks down into sand particles over time, through wind action for example, as the wind carries sand particles, this shifts the shape and form of sand dunes and deserts over time.
