Evaluate the impact of EL Nino conditions on the farming activities

qwelly [4]

El Niño is warming of the sea surface temperature of the Pacific Ocean. Extreme flooding,

drought, lack of potable water for livestock and domestic use, food insecurity and market

imbalance are associated with El Niño and La Niña in Ethiopia. Drought following El Niño

caused 50 to 90% crop failure, in the eastern parts of Ethiopia. El Niño episodes are detected

using different statistical indices such as Oceanic Nino Index (ONI), Agricultural Stress Index

System (ASIS) and the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), with magnitude ranging from weak to

strong. Identifying the El Niño and La Niña seasons it is very important to adopt suitable

adaptation strategies, which can resolve and/or reduce the negative impacts. Early warning and

immediate support to the impacted areas have been carried out to minimize risks from El Niño

animal feed for livestock from other areas has been transported to the vulnerable areas. Planting

early maturing and drought resistant crops, supplementary irrigation, early waning information

on weather and climate have been exercised as climate change adaptation strategies, early

warning mechanisms by the government of Ethiopia. El Niño and La Niña are natural

phenomena; however, it is necessary to study the occurrence and distribution of El Niño and La

Niña episodes to enable early warning and identify suitable adaptation strategies and policy

implications in the country.

What is the defination weathering and explain two ways it can occur.

ozzi

Answer: Weathering is the breaking down of rocks and minerals on the surface of Earth. Weathering is divided into two types, mechanical and chemical.

Explanation: One of the causes for mechanical weathering is water, either liquid or solid. A cause for chemical weathering is rain water. Rain water reacts with mineral grains in rocks to form new minerals.

Which statement best describes an interaction with the geosphere?

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Answer is Option A: Glaciers shape a mountain valley.

Explanation:

'Geo' means ground. Geosphere denotes all minerals and rocks that are present on earth. It also refers to all the mountains found on the surface, the liquid rocks which are present in the mantle under the earth's crust and also the metals which are there in the outer and inner cores of the earth.

Valleys created from glaciers is a form of glacier land form. The eroded ice from the land surface carries the broken rocks which result in formation of glacial land forms.

Geologists call the interconnected web of interacting processes and materials on (and in) the earth:________

The correct answer is Option B) the Earth systems.

Geologists call the interconnected web of interacting processes and materials on (and in) the earth, the Earth systems.

<h3>What are the earth systems and how do they interact with each other?</h3>

When the five major systems of Earth, that are, geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere interact with each other so as to produce the environment we are familiar and comfortable with, it is called Earth systems.

Geosphere: The types of minerals present in soils, which are the end products of geologic processes, influence the vegetation and ecosystems that grow on the soil's surface. Carbon, a component of biological matter that is necessary for life, is carried to the ocean by wind and water erosion, where it finally becomes a part of the ocean floor. Ocean deposits are transported into the interior of the planet via tectonic activity. Volcanic activity has the ability to release carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere over geologic timescales. One of the important cycles that connects the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere is the carbon cycle.

Biosphere: Interactions between the biosphere and atmosphere are ongoing. All living creatures are dependent on atmospheric gases for survival. Animals and other organisms absorb oxygen from the air to utilize in all of their bodily cells, and they expel carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.

Cryosphere: The cryosphere acts as a highly reflecting blanket to keep Earth from overheating. Compared to open water or bare ground, snow and ice reflect more sunlight. The energy balance of the entire globe is impacted by the presence or absence of snow and ice, which influences heating and cooling over the surface of the Earth.

Hydrosphere: Rain originates from clouds in the atmosphere and descends to the lithosphere as streams and rivers, providing water for both plant development and drinking for humans and animals .

Atmosphere: The three main atmospheric components that absorb radiation are ozone, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. The sun's UV energy, which is detrimental to the majority of living organisms, is absorbed by ozone. Without this protective layer in the atmosphere our skin would burn when exposed to sunlight.
