The larger mass a star has the shorter its life span will be because since it is so large, the more nuclear energy it has to create to keep it up and running. So the smaller the star the longer its life span and vise versa. Hope this helped!
Because Running water is the leading cause of soil erosion, because water is abundant and has a lot of power. Wind is also a leading cause of soil erosion because wind can pick up soil and blow it far away. Activities that remove vegetation, disturb the ground, or allow the ground to dry are activities that increase erosion.
I believe the answer for this would be B. Just using the process of elimination knocks out D and A, and plants make carbs not protein during photosynthesis :)
