How are gelisols formed?

Geography
1 answer:
earnstyle [38]4 years ago
8 0

Gelisols are soils with permafrost within 2 meters of the surface. These soils generally have limited profile development. Most of the soil forming processes in these soils occur near the surface, sometimes resulting in significant accumulation of organic matter. Large areas of this soil occur in the Northern regions of Russia, Canada, and Alaska. These areas become boggy wetlands in the summer, and support large numbers of migratory birds and grazing mammals. The permafrost of Gelisols tends to become unstable (melt) if disturbed, leading to a waterlogged soil condition that poses problems for engineering uses.

Streams have a detectable current, while rivers do not. True or False.
Luba_88 [7]
I think that statement is false.

It is not correct if we stated that rivers do not have detectable current. To prove this, if a person jumped into a river , that person will float downstream. So it has detectable current

A common cause of soil erosion
anygoal [31]
Running water is the leading cause of soil erosion, because water is abundant and has a lot of power. Wind is also a leading cause of soil erosion because wind can pick up soil and blow it far away.

Environmental factors that cause ill health​
Over [174]

Answer:

Chemical pollution, air pollution, climate change, disease-causing microorganisms, abject health care, abysmal infrastructure, and inadequate water quality.

Explanation:

Different chemicals can impact human health in different ways, and often, exposure to dangerous or foreign substances creates health vulnerabilities. Air pollution describes any solid or liquid particles and gases suspended in the air and have harmful or poisonous effects. Climate change disrupts the natural world in several ways that can impede health and increase vulnerability to disease; these include increases in the planet’s temperature and more frequent heavy rains and runoff. Harmful microbes, which are more commonly called pathogens or germs, can infect humans and cause illness. Individuals who don’t have access to health care services like pharmaceuticals and dental care are at a higher risk for chronic conditions, including asthma, cancer, diabetes, or heart disease. Lack of local health care infrastructure, poorly maintained roads, and lack of access to clean drinking water impacts community health. Industrial waste and pollution, lack of access to proper water treatment and sanitation services, and outdated plumbing infrastructure contribute to poor water quality.
