How does the contour plowing technique conserve soil?

Biology

Answer:

Contour plowing is one of the most common types of cultivation practice that is being carried out in the gentle slopes. This technique creates ridges and trenches in the land that helps in storing the water in its pore spaces and also holds the necessary minerals that are present in the topsoil. It does not allow the topsoil to get washed away during rainfall. It allows the water to slowly move downward along the slope through the narrow channels.

Thus, contour plowing is carried out in order to reduce the soil erosion process.

Contour plowing created grooves in the soil. Because the bottom of each groove is at the same elevation throughout its length, rainfalls will get trapped in each groove instead of running rapidly downhill toward the stream, carrying the top soil with it

Explain what is ecological conservation and conservation of the environment. What can you do to conserve the environment? Why do
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Conservation ecology is the branch of ecology and evolutionary biology that deals with the preservation and management of biodiversity and natural resources. Its goal is to find ways to conserve species, habitats, landscapes, and ecosystems as quickly, as efficiently, and as economically as possible.

-These are some examples of how we can conserve the environment:

Recycle your rubbish and participate in or help organize recycling campaigns.

Avoid littering and participate in or help organize litter clean-ups (here you can link to a website for volunteering or starting your own beach clean-up).

Use less plastic by, for example, carrying a reusable water bottle, saying no to disposable straws and cutlery, avoiding plastic toys, and bringing your own shopping bags (for further ideas on a plastic-free life take a look here).

Swap toys, movies, and books instead of buying new ones.

Donate, recycle, and repair electronic devices (see how here).

Use less water when brushing teeth, taking a shower, or washing the dishes.

Use less electricity by turning off lights and electronic devices when not in use, using energy-saving light bulbs, and hanging clothes to dry.

Use public transport, share a journey with friends (e.g., car-sharing), cycle, or walk when possible.

Use less paper by not printing unnecessary things and reading e-books.

Turn down the air conditioning when it is hot and use fans if you are still hot-they use much less power.

Turn down the heat when it is cold and use sweaters, blankets, and socks to keep warm.

Do not waste food and try to buy food that is grown locally and in season.

Hope this helps:)

Planet A has a tilt of five degrees. What seasonal changes would be expected on this planet?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

MRCORRECT has answered the question

Explanation:

Do to the fact that Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees to the plane of the "ecliptic", which is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Each planet's orbital plane is a little different from Earth's, and each planet has a different axial tilt. The fact that we are talking about 5 dgrees we are talking about Jupiter which there would be little to no change

Pretty easy question (s) but I am not good at explaining things so I need help
luda_lava [24]

I'm guessing the rocket scenario is the first one and the asteroid one is the last. That being said...

1) The fuel in the rocket provides it with the energy it needs to propel itself into space. The rocket throttles at the bottom, allow it to break free from the earth's gravity by pushing against the earth's greater mass.

2) If you are inside of the bus, in a fixed spot not moving, and the bus is moving. That means you are moving in the same direction as the bus. If it stops, you're still moving at the speed that it was once originally moving at. Obviously, since you weigh less than the bus you are going to fly forwards.

3) There is no gravity or friction in space, so items won't slow down no matter what. Even if an object such as a meteor is flung into space with the tiniest bit of force it will keep flying through space at a consistent speed, since there's nothing to slow it down... unless it hits something else.

4) Looking back at the previous answer, the asteroid is flying through space at a consistent speed (which is really fast). Suddenly it comes in close range to the moon which is bigger in size, and thus has a stronger gravitational pull, and pulls the asteroid into it's field.

What are the three types of species distribution patterns give an example of species that live in each
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a biological taxon is spatially arranged. The geographic limits of a particular taxon's distribution is its range, often represented as shaded areas on a map. Patterns of distribution change depending on the scale at which they are viewed, from the arrangement of individuals within a small family unit, to patterns within a population, or the distribution of the entire species as a whole (range). Species distribution is not to be confused with dispersal, which is the movement of individuals away from their region of origin or from a population center of high density.
