The correct answer is - deforestation.

Deforestation is a huge issue when it comes to soil erosion. When there's thicker vegetation the soil is in place and the erosion is minimal. This is due to the root systems of the trees, bushes, grashes, that are making a natural net inside the soil that holds it in place and doesn't allow the soil to be moved away and thus erosion to take place. But when we have a deforested landscape than the situation is the total opposite. The soil is left on its own and it doesn't have any protection from the root systems to keep in place, so with every rain it is eroding slowly and occasionally quickly when there's heavy rainfall. Most of the erosion takes place on the steeper parts.

Climate change is not expected to be the same everywhere on Earth. How is precipitation expected to change in a future climate?

Anton [14]

Answer:

Explanation as below

Explanation:

Climate change is the charge of earth temperature from cold to warm to hot this, change is brought about by both man and nature induced factors in the environment.

Climate change is a universal phenomenon, it impacts every part of the earth and is not the same everywhere as someplace has a huge climatic impact while others have minimal, and others are badly impacted this further depends upon the alternation to the climate by man.

Changes in precipitation, rise in temperatures both on land and water and depletion of resources are fundamental to the large scale impact of climate change and this reduces the survival rates to various species to the planet, the loss of dinosaurs was in itself a big impact of climate change that to place millions of years ago and from that period onward the earth is getting heated and continues to get hot a hotter day by day.

Polar areas and ice caps are badly impacted reduction of land surface and increase in oceanic waters becoming more saline and changes in the atmospheric carbon content and depletion of stratospheric ozone are warning signs based on global climatic pattern's and data collected by decades of surveys around the world.

Shortly, this climatic induced forces will further lead to more drastic flooding and rains which if unchecked will bring another age of global cooling.

What is the relation of other subjects with geography ??

Sidana [21]

Geography uses other subject in it's studies. Very close to geography are geophysics and geology. Geophysics studies quantitatively physical phenomena of the planet Earth, geology studies composition of soil rocks and their development through history. Geography uses biology, statistics, mathematics and other subjects in order to better describe the Earth.
