Permafrost soil (gelisol) is?

1 answer:

5 0

Permafrost is permanently frozen soil, a common feature of Polar regions. There is an "active layer" at the surface of varying depth which does melt during the summer when the temperature consistently warms above freezing. Permafrost is often rich in organic matter due to the slow rate at which it decomposes in these climates.

Hope I helped :D

PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER ASAP How is photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

They go hand in hand as a cycle.

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant, and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts that glucose and oxygen into water and carbon dioxide, which then go through photosynthesis again.

What is true about human use of the Tropical Dry Forest biome versus the Tropical Rainforest biome?

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The tropical rain forest and tropical dry forest lies on the tropical regions of both the hemisphere. These are the regions on and around the tropic of cancer and tropic of capricorn. In the tropical rain forest, the rate of precipitation is higher than the rate of evapo-transpiration, so the temperature remains relatively cooler. Whereas, in the tropical dry forest, the rate of evapo-transpiration is more than the rate of precipitation, as a result of which the temperature remains comparatively high.

The tropical dry forest is very good for agricultural purpose, as it contains nutrient rich soil. So it has been destroyed to a greater extent for agricultural use, grazing of animals.

Whereas, the tropical rain forest is not suitable for the agricultural use because the soil here are affected by the rainfall, that washes away the nutrients, making the soil less fertile.

Thus the correct answer is option (D).
