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.

Explain how environmental factors affect the rate of transpiration in flowering plants​
Igoryamba

Explanation:

there are a couple of environmental factors that affect the rate of transpiration. they include:

I) wind:in a windy environment there is easy movement of moisture hence it does not accumulate on the leaf surface. this helps to increase diffusion gradient between the intercellular spaces in the leaf and in the environment there4 the rate of transpiration is increased. in a calm environment moisture accumulates on the surface of a leaf there4 reducing the diffusion gradient there4 reducing the rate of transpiration

ii) atmospheric pressure :in low lands there is high atmospheric pressure than in the highlands. the more the atmospheric pressure the more the pressure exerted on the cells of the leaves there4 reducing the rate of transpiration.

iii) humidity:the more the humidity in the atmosphere the less the rate of transpiration. this is due to low diffusion gradient due to accumulation of water vapour on the surface of the leaf

iv) temperature:a rise in temp increases the water vapour holding capacity of air in the air spaces within the spongy mesophyll layer. the water vapor pressure in the intercellular spaces increases causing an increase in diffusion gradient between the intercellular spaces and the environment there4 increasing the rate of transpiration. decrease in temp decreases the water vapor holding capacity in the intercellular spaces there4 diffusion gradient is lowered there4 reducing the rate of transpiration.
