A practice that involves the clearing of trees and brush for short-term farming

Geography
1 answer:
natka813 [3]4 years ago
8 0

Such a practice is known as shifting cultivation or slash-and-burn. This was used by tribal people and American Indians for farming. They clear the land, grow crops for a few years, and move away when the land is fallow, allowing the land to regain nutrients and the forest to grow back. They generally return to the land in 10 to 12 years.

Explain how storms are formed due to rising temperatures and other changes in
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Hurricanes need a lot of heat to form, which is why they usually occur over tropical seas (at least 26°C).

The sun is close to the equator, providing energy to heat the ocean.

The warm ocean heats the air above it causing it to rise rapidly.

Water evaporates quickly from the hot surface of the ocean, so the rising air contains great amounts of water vapour.

The rising air starts to spin (anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere)

The centre of the storm - the eye - is calm.

As the air rises it cools, condenses and forms towering cumulonimbus clouds.

The rapidly rising air creates an area of intense low pressure. The low pressure sucks in air, causing very strong winds.

Once the storm moves over land it starts to lose energy and fades.
