How does strip cropping slow down rainfall from removing soil?

Biology
1 answer:
alex41 [277]3 years ago
3 0

The growing of a cultivated crop (as corn) in strips alternating with strips of a sod-forming crop (as hay) arranged to follow an approximate contour of the land and minimize erosion.

Strip cropping helps to stop soil erosion by creating natural dams for water, helping to preserve the strength of the soil. Certain layers of plants will absorb minerals and water from the soil more effectively than others. When water reaches the weaker soil that lacks the minerals needed to make it stronger, it normally washes it away. When strips of soil are strong enough to slow down water from moving through them, the weaker soil can't wash away like it normally would. Because of this, farmland stays fertile much longer.

The term strip cropping also refers to a method of dry farming sometimes used in areas including parts of the Great Plains of the United States and the Prairies of Canada. To accumulate moisture in these dry areas, cropland is periodically left fallow. Typically, the fallow and planted areas are organized in parallel long, narrow strips that are oriented normal to the prevailing winds, in order to minimize the erosion of soil from the bare fields. Strip farming helps to prevent mass erosion by having the roots of crops hold on to the soil to prevent it from being washed away.

Hope this helps  Its because its really strong soil

Answer:

For crime detection and Forensics

Explanation:

Forensic science is the combination of two different Latin words: forensis and science. The former, forensic, relates to a discussion or examination performed in public. Because trials in the ancient world were typically held in public, it carries a strong judicial connotation. The second, of course, is science, which is derived from the Greek for knowledge and is today closely tied to the scientific method, a systematic way of acquiring knowledge. Taken together, then, forensic science can be seen as the use of the scientific methods and processes in crime solving.

Despite its ancient etymology, forensic science is anything but old-fashioned. Branches of forensic science are rooted in almost every branch of science and many other aspects of modern society. Because of its ability to find and present objective evidence from areas as diverse as chemistry and accounting, today it is recognized as an essential part of the judicial system.

Essential, why essential?

Because when it comes to cases of life and death, objective evidence is crucial. While key evidence in criminal cases may have come from witnesses or other subjective means in the past, forensic science allows for objective evidence. That means that forensic evidence, based as it is on the scientific method, is seen as more reliable than even eyewitness testimony. In a judicial system which maintains that the accused is innocent until proven guilty, evidence gathered by forensic scientists is now regularly used by both the defense and the prosecution in many court cases.

Which shows the correct descending order of hierarchical classification?
Allisa [31]
Categories within taxonomic classification are arranged in increasing specificity.<span>The most general category in taxonomic classification is domain, which is the point of origin for all species; all species belong to one of these domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.</span>Within each of the three domains, we find kingdoms, the second category within taxonomic classification, followed by subsequent categories that include phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.At each classification category, organisms become more similar because they are more closely related.As scientific technology advances, changes to the taxonomic classification of many species must be altered as inaccuracies in classifications are discovered and corrected.
