The correct answer is - faster.

The rates of erosion in the present are faster than what they have been throughout most of the geologic past. The reason for this increase in the speed of the erosion has primarily been attributed to the human activity. The humans tend to destroy lot of vegetation, be it forests, shrub-lands, or grasslands in order to clear up space for their activities and needs. This leads to much higher exposure of the soil to the process of erosion. The reason for that is that the soil is losing its natural protector form the erosion, the plants and their roots, which are holding the soil tightly and also provide cover for it. Once this natural protection is gone, the soil becomes loos, nothing is holding it, so the natural elements are eroding it very easy and quick.

How might an invasive species threaten biodiversity
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The invasive s p e c i e s tend to diminish the populations of native s p e c i e s because they outcompete them, and also manage to disturb the ecosystem.

Explanation:

The invasive species can or cannot be dangerous for the native biodiversity, but unfortunately, it is the second one that is much more common. The reasons as to why the invasive species tend to threaten the biodiversity are that they often don't have a native predator that will control their numbers, outcompete the native species for resources, and the native species don't have defense mechanisms against them. These factors result in havoc in the ecosystem in a relatively short period, with the potential to totally destroy it and changed it.

There are thousands of examples of invasive species around the world, some much more obvious than others. The Burmese pythons in Florida for example, have started to overtake the a p e x predator niche from the alligators by directly attacking them. On the other side of the world, in Australia, the cats and rabbits have contributed to leading hundreds of native species on the verge of extinction, and if there hasn't been human intervention there is a very high chance that a lot of native species would have been already extinct.

Given the information below, what is m ZCBE?<br> AC intersected by BD and BE.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Angle CBE = 48 degrees.

Explanation:

I'm doing the same math quiz right now and was pretty stumped. However, it was actually really easy once you think about it enough!

<em>Please make sure to reword my answer and remember as stated already at the beginning of the quiz, the angles are not drawn to scale.</em>

Step 1: Take the stuff that equals CBE, turn it into an equation, and solve.

  • 5x + 42 = 7x + 6
  • x = 18

<u>OPTIONAL</u>: Plug 18 for x into the equation and you'll get 132 = 132, making it a true answer.

Step 2: Plug 18 for x into the angle measurements.

ABD: 42 degrees (given)

DBE: 5(18) = 90 degrees

CBE: Take 180 and subtract both 42 and 90. You get 48 degrees, which is your final answer.

serg [7]

The ocean, atmosphere, cryosphere, and biosphere interact with the geosphere via the earth's crust.

Atmospheres are layers of gas that surround planets and other celestial bodies. Earth's atmosphere is composed of approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other gases. 1: the total mass of air surrounding the earth. 2: Gas surrounding celestial bodies (planets, etc.) The atmosphere of Mars is mainly composed of carbon dioxide. 3: air of a place. 4: Ambient influence or set of conditions An atmosphere of excitement.

The atmosphere is defined as the region of air and gas surrounding an object in space, such as a star or planet, or the air around any location. An example of the atmosphere is the ozone and other layers that make up the Earth's sky as we see it. An example of an atmosphere is the air and gases contained in a greenhouse.
