Biology
1 answer:
vfiekz [6]3 years ago
6 0

Desertification of non desert land can occur due to several reason like,overgrazing, deforestation, tilling of land, drastic climate change  and drought that ultimately leads to excessive soil erosion or soil death .

Explanation:

  • Desertification is the phenomena in which a productive land becomes completely unproductive, resulting in the loss of any vegetation cover over it.
  • Desertification results in degradation of the soil to such an extent that the entire biotic community thriving on it is destroyed.
  • Overgrazing, deforestation, tilling of land  are major activities that ultimately leads to the washing away of the top soil and leaves the land deserted.
  • Some natural causes include climate shifts and drought.

Circulation is maintained in the veins by the
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Valves

Explanation:

Circulation is maintained in the veins by the valves.

Veins are part of the blood circulation system and blood vessels that transports deoxygenated blood from parts of the body back to the heart. Within the veins are valves (flap like structures) which maintain circulation by ensuring that blood in the veins move in the proper direction toward the heart. Blood that is being transported through the vein usually have low pressure. The valves work by providing pressure to enhance the blood’s movement, and they also disallow backflow of blood as it moves through the body. Most of the veins, especially the ones located in the legs and arms usually have one-way valves.

A maglev train uses powerful magnets to lift the train above the tracks as it moves forward. Such a design reduces what followin
denis23 [38]

A. Rolling Friction

Explanation:

  • Maglev is train transportation that uses magnets. Maglev will have two sets of magnets, the function of the first set of the magnet is to repel and push the train and lift the train from the track and the function of the second set of the magnet is to elevate the train further. In this process, the lack of friction is the main advantage.
  • Guideway is the magnetic coil running along the track and it repelling the big magnets present on the undercarriage of the train. This repulsion causes the train to go up by 1 to 10 centimetres above from the guideway. All the maglev trains are floating on the magnetic cushion and it reduces the rolling friction.
