Answer:

Rate of soil loss that is not higher than the local rate of soil formation

Explanation:

A "sustainable" rate of soil loss means <em>"the rate at which soil is lost from a surface is not higher than the local rate at which soil is formed at an area."</em>

We can determine whether a given farm was practicing a sustainable use of soil or not by merely measuring the amount of topsoil at the given farm.

12. Recent developments have resulted in the ability to clone cats. Many people argue that cloning offers pet owners comfort in
ipn [44]

Cloning is a process of producing genetically identical organisms through the techniques of biotechnology. Reproductive cloning of animals involves the somatic cell nuclear transfer in which the nucleus from an adult donor cell is transferred to an egg cell from which the nucleus has been removed. It is then incorporated into the uterus of a surrogate animal.

Pet cloning is not acceptable because of the following reasons-

(1) Its a very expensive procces with a high rate of failure.

(2) The clones produced tend to develop health problems. Large Offspring Syndrome (LOS) with very large organs is observed showing problems with blood flow and breathing with respect to heart and lungs, renal failure and other complicated issues.

(3) The clones are susceptible to skeletal abnormalities, higher rates of infection and tumour development. This results in a high mortality (death) rates.

(4) Since a surrogate mother is involved in the process of cloning, they experience a lot of health problems while carrying the embryos and sometimes it can be even killed.

Thus, cloning of pets is not acceptable as it affects both the cloned animal and the surrogate mother which is not preferred. Instead, adopting a homeless pet will provide shelter to another animal with a better nourishment.

Fault trees are an approach to hazard analysis that, for each identified hazard, break down that hazard to find how that hazard
Alexus [3.1K]

Hazards are placed at the root of the tree and determining the cause of the hazard is the correct option for the following hazard analysis questions.

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) explores how selected “top” faults (abnormal conditions) or fault events such as accidental/unwanted releases of hazardous materials can be resolved to their causes. Hazard analysis is defined as the process of gathering and interpreting information about the hazards and conditions leading to their existence in order to determine what is food safety related and must be addressed in the HACCP plan. Hazard analysis is used as the first step in the risk assessment process. The result of hazard analysis is the identification of different types of hazards. A hazard is a potential condition that may or may not exist.
