Explain 3 ways of checking soil depletion​

Biology
1 answer:
fiasKO [112]3 years ago
4 0
You can check soil depletion by:

1. Contour ploughing

Ploughing along contours on a slope prevents soil from being washed away by rains and or by surface run-offs. Contours act like bunds. Terraces are leveled into step-like small fields with even slopes. Doing this is common in Asian countries.

2. Terrace Farming

On hilly slopes, terraces act as bunds and prevent the soil from being washed away by running water. This is practiced in Asia and the USA.

3. Strip Cropping

In this system, crops are grown by alternate strips of land in order to check the effect of the winds.

Explain how the shape of a river's stream bed can affect the river's speed and its power to cause erosion.
sergey [27]

Explanation: The shape of a river's stream bed affects the speed and eroding power of a river by influencing the amount of friction between the water flowing through the river and the stream bed below. Friction is the force that opposes the motion of one surface as it moves across another surface. In a river, there is friction between the flowing water and the stream bed beneath it. Where a river is deep, less water comes into contact with the stream bed, so there is less friction. The reduced friction means there is less opposition to the water's motion, so the river flows at a greater speed and has more kinetic energy for erosion. On the other hand, where a river is shallow, more water comes into contact with the stream bed, so there is more friction. The increased friction means there is more opposition to the water's motion, so the river flows at a lesser speed and has less kinetic energy for erosion. Also, the roughness of a stream bed covered with boulders and other obstacles causes the water to flow through the river in a turbulent fashion. This could cause the river to move slower in some cases or erode more in other cases.

As an astronaut goes out into space, her mass _______________ and her weight ____________________.
irinina [24]
As an Astronaut goes out into space, her mass REMAINS THE SAME and her weight DECREASES.
When one travels away from the earth surface, one's mass remains the same but the weight decreases as the gravitation pull decreases.
The experience of weight on earth is as a result of the counteracting forces acting one's body and the ground. When one is in the space, this counteracting force is removed because the ground is no longer pushing back on one's body. Thus, one's weight will decrease in space because gravitational pull is lower above the earth's surface.
