Due to sea level rise, increase in inundations, and storm surge flooding, shoreline erosion will be prominent. This will affect the people living in the coastal and the coastal ecosystems like salt marshes. Wildfire and insect outbreaks have been increasing and are likely to intensify. Increased risk of deaths due to heat waves, water-borne diseases, and degraded water quality, respiratory illness, and vector-borne infectious diseases. Due to diminishing snowfields, the availability of water has become a major issue. This will add to the pressure on the availability of the groundwater. Apart from the extreme events, climate change impacts in urban centres will be in the form of urban heat islands, air and water pollution, ageing infrastructure, water quality and supply challenges, along with immigration and population growth, and an ageing population. This will increase the stress on natural resources, and lead to their over-exploitation and exhaustion.<span />

Explain all the types of erosion caused by water
noname [10]

Answer:

There are three types of soil erosion caused by water. They are: Sheet, Rill and Gully.

Sheet Erosion

This type of erosion takes away the top soil over a wide area thereby making it look as though it took a sheet of the top soil. As a result, this is not easy to notice at first glance because the soil from the whole area is gone so there is nothing to compare it to.

Rill Erosion

When water goes in channels and makes lines in the soil a by carrying off the soil that was previously on those lines, that is rill erosion. These channels must be shallow to be considered Rill erosion however because if they are too big, it would become gully erosion.

Gully Erosion

Gully erosion is much like Rill erosion but on a much larger scale. With gully erosion, the channels are much bigger and allow for more soil to be taken. Gully erosion can remove a lot of soil from an area. The Grand Canyon for instance was formed by Gully erosion.

which two cultural terms have the most similar meanings? A. acculturation and appropriation B. assimilation and appropriation C.
katen-ka-za [31]
The two closest terms are  C. acculturation and assimilation.

Both terms refer to the process in which two cultures meet and interact and "borrow" some aspects of the other culture - the difference is that assimilation produces more similar culture.

In contrast appropriation is a one-way process: only one culture takes on the characteristics of another culture.
