Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

C. Constant burning of fossil fuels at power plants increases carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere, resulting in faster input of carbon into the atmosphere than the ocean and land can take up.

Explanation:

Nutrient cycling is the process that allows for a continuous and balanced exchange of nutrients between the earth, living beings and the atmosphere. This exchange allows life on earth to be allowed and managed. An imbalance in this exchange can cause very harmful effects that damage the entire system that the earth maintains.

An example of this is the imbalance caused by the excess burning of fossil fuels. That's because the constant burning of fossil fuels in power plants increases concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, resulting in a faster entry of carbon into the atmosphere than the ocean and land can absorb.

What physical feature allowed settlers in the Fertile Crescent to grow crops? sea tides flooding rivers natural canals eroding m
Drupady [299]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The Fertile Crescent is basically where human civilization started. It stretches from Mesopotamia and across the Mediterranean coast to Egypt. Early civilizations depended on agriculture. To make agriculture, you need a river because it is a good water source to help grow your crops.

If you look at the map I have provided below, you will see that there are tons of rivers. This would make it very easy for settlers to grow crops. This means that sea tides and eroding mountains aren't the answer. I don't think the rivers were flooding and natural canals is an oxymoron because canals are artificial waterways, but this all should give you and idea.

Have a wonderful day! :D
