Question:

Which of the following actions could prevent mass-movement disasters?(a)constructing building and roads in stream drainage paths

(b)removing trees from steep slopes

(c)educating people about the advantages of building on steep slopes

(d)digging a series of trenches to divert water around a slope

<u>Answer</u>:

"Digging a series of trenches to divert water around a slope"  could prevent mass-movement disasters

<u>Explanation</u>:

The trenches are made of 12 to 15 inches in width and at least 6-8 inches depth, can help in normal drainage problem. But in long, steep slopes and areas receiving heavy rainfall, digging of trenches is more advisable. It prevents the tripping over and falling down of people, it protects the runoff of edges and also collapsing. These trenches should be filled with coarse gravel or may be small stones. In the final labelling one or two inch of fine gravel or coarse sand. It will make the surface level which will allow the water to seep down.

The best way to measure an exact volume is with a(n) _____________.
xxTIMURxx [149]
The answer is E, graduated cylinder.

Meanwhile beaker and test tubes may have markings, but they're not as accurate. Especially in beakers, their wide diameter only makes an approximate volume, as it is very likely to have a reading mistake on that. Their main function is not to measure volumes, thus there marking may already have an mistake.

And in watch glass and evaporating dish, they're both very shallow and wide in diameter too, so they're not for measuring volumes. Plus, not all of them have markings.

And in graduated cylinder, the thin shape makes the reading a lot more accurate and the main purpose for that is to measure volumes. They also come in transparent tubes that can make the reading clear and easy to read.
