Above average rainfall is the correct answer

Answer:

B) Above average rainfall

Explanation:

The Southern Oscillation, also known as El Nino, brings in significant changes of the weather on all areas that are affected by it. Texas is also affected by El Nino, and that is manifested in milder temperatures and increased precipitation.

La Nina and El Nino have the total opposite effect on the weather conditions of Texas. While La Nina brings in warmer and drier weather conditions, El Nino actually brings in milder weather and much more rainfall.

Texas in general is semi arid. The temperatures are mild in winter and high in summer, with the rainfall mostly being absent for most of the year, and the majority of it falling intensively and seasonally. When El Nino is active though, Texas receives much more rainfall, making its temperatures lower in the process as well.

This is actually welcomed by the Texans, as the increased rainfall is good for the agriculture. The people are happy as well that they have lower temperatures for some time, so they are experiencing extremely high and unbearable temperatures.

Guestion in agriculture science? outline the advantages of a mixture of grasses and legumes on a pasture
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The advantages of mixture a grasses and legumes is;

* extend the growing season of a pasture

* improve the quality of forage

* improve flexibility to survive environmental conditions

* reduce susceptibility to insects and disease attacks

* improve the palatability

* increase the organic matter content of the soil over time because of grass root system

* reduce weed encroachment

* reduce erosion

* produce higher yields

The probable pasture production for perennial ryegrass in the northern hemisphere leaves some time when the grass is dormant. There are times when other feed will be needed. Utilizing another grass or legume that flourishes during the less productive periods for perennial ryegrass extends the season for production and maintains the quality of feed.

Some scientists have hypothesized that if enough ice in Greenland melts, the Gulf Stream might be shut down. Without the Gulf St
Leona [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientists have been able to determine that the melting of ice from Greenland ice sheet will reduce the rate of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) which is an important part of the global ocean current that determines the climate and controls Gulf stream. It as been inferred by researchers that this could affect climatic conditions in places like Europe and North America in the future.

The influx of fresh water from Greenland which is made up of runoff from ice, tundra and ice discharge will weaken the AMOC and this as both local and global effects on climate.
