Clear cutting large areas of trees at one time:

Geography

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The clear-cutting down of large and small trees is commonly known as the deforestation process. It is usually done by humans, so they are often considered as an anthropogenic activity.

There are various impacts that can be caused due to the deforestation process. It often reduces the amount of rainfall, as the area lacks in the moisture content. The incoming heat energy from the sun warms the area and dries up the land by absorbing the lesser amount of water, if any, present in the soil. Soil erosion takes place commonly and rapidly, thereby increases the temperature of the land areas.

Thus, all the above-given options are correct and so the correct answer is option (D).

All of the statements are true about the consequences of clear cutting large areas of trees at one time.

Explanation:

When a large area of trees is clear cut at once, or in a very short period of time, it brings significant changes to the area. The consequences are mostly environmental, and they affect all the living organisms in the area, including the humans. It is not only the living organisms that are affected though, but also the physical features and characteristics of the area. The climate too experiences changes very quickly, which are often negative changes.

  • The removing of the trees from an area exposes the land to direct sunlight, which results in higher temperatures.
  • The higher temperature of the land contributes to drying up of the land, thus gradually making the land semi-arid or arid.
  • Because the land will be drier and warmer, the air masses will be dry and warm, thus the rainfall will sharply decrease in the area.
  • Another major change will be that the rate of erosion will increase significantly, as the soil will not have its natural protection from the trees, so it will rapidly erode.

What are invasive species? Why are they considered one of the greatest threats to an ecosystem?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:An invasive species are organisms that are not native to the ecosystem or either the environment and causes damage and harm to the ecosystem.For example a rabbit comes into a ecosystem and eates all of the plants,then the type of species of rabbit is going to damage and destroy the ecosystem habitat or foodwebs etc.

Explanation:The things is that invasive species damage the ecosystems by eating all of the food that is need for the foodwebs and organisms to maintain and balance the environment around them.Also the reason why invasive species causes a threat to the environment by damage organisms habitats and leading organisms to having a habitat to organinsms that are losing their habitat because of invasive species.

List and describe the evidence used to support the plate tectonics theory.
umka2103 [35]
The basic theory of plate tectonics is that along seafloor spreading zones, the continents are separating from one another. As they spread apart, magma comes to the surface and becomes new continental crust. As the tectonic plates move away from spreading zones, they collide with one another.

How do ridges and rises differ? Rises are broader and more gently sloped than ridges. Divergence occurs more quickly at a ridge.
Leni [432]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Mid-oceanic ridges are the regions along which two distinct plates move away from one another. This type of plate boundary is known as the divergent plate boundary.

Whereas a rise occurs along a divergent plate boundary and is mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, where the magma is forced to rise up forming a gently steeper underwater highland area.

Both these features occur in a divergent plate boundary and plays an important role in pushing the continents apart. So we can conclude that the rises are mostly associated with the region of hot-spots, and ridges are formed due to the seafloor spreading at divergent plate boundaries.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
