Answer: D) Tree roots improve soil water retention

There are many reasons which states that deforestation increases the risk of flood. First   , some water stay on the leaves and evaporates in to the atmosphere. Second, tree leaves reduce the impact of raindrops on the soil which causes less soil erosion.

Third, tree roots absorb water from the soil, which make the soil dry and it absorb more water rainwater. The roots of tree hold the soil in place and reduce the movement of sediment which reduce the capacity of river to break its banking. Thus, reducing the chances of flood.

What effect does the Earth spinning on its axis have on winds and currents?
olasank [31]

Answer:

B) Global winds will move along a curved path and therefore cause ocean currents to curve.

Explanation:

Earth rotation can be defined as the amount of time taken by planet earth to complete its spinning movement on its axis.

This ultimately implies that, the rotation of earth refers to the time taken by earth to rotate once on its axis. One spinning movement of the earth on its axis takes approximately 24 hours to complete with respect to the sun.

Basically, the effect of the Earth spinning on its axis have on winds and currents is that Global winds will move along a curved path and therefore cause ocean currents to curve. As a result of the Earth's rotation on its axis, a phenomenon known as Coriolis effect arises. Coriolis effect occurs when circulating winds are deflected to the left in the southern hemisphere and to the right in the northern hemisphere.

Hence, rather than have this air circulating in a straight pattern, it is deflected to the left of the southern hemisphere and to the right of the northern hemisphere, typically in a curved path or pattern.
