Answer:

The measurement of the circumference of a child's head is known as the head circumference.

Explanation:

It is defined as the measurement of the perimeter of the head in its largest part. This measurement goes from the part on the eyebrows and the ears, around the back of the head.

This information is common in routine checkups of a healthy child. If during this control a change in the normal growth of the head is observed, this may indicate a possible problem, for example water in the brain, which is known as hydrocephalus. If, on the contrary, the growth of the child's head is too slow, this is known as microcephaly.

Answer:

I am too lazy to do this, but I am assuming you were supposed to do this in class. I will give you ideas.

Why is soil important?  Soil is our life support system. Soils provide anchorage for roots, hold water and nutrients. Soils are home to myriad micro-organisms that fix nitrogen and decompose organic matter, and armies of microscopic animals as well as earthworms and termites.

What is soil erosion?  Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms. In agriculture, soil erosion refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by the natural physical forces of water (Figure 1) and wind (Figure 2) or through forces associated with farming activities such as tillage.

what human activities are responsible for soil erosion happening at advance rates?     Ploughing, unsuitable agricultural practices, combined with deforestation and overgrazing, are the main causes of human-induced soil erosion

What are some effects on soil loss?  The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species. And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen flooding.

What can be done to prevent soil erosion?   Maintaining a healthy, perennial plant cover.

Mulching.

Planting a cover crop – such as winter rye in vegetable gardens. ...

Placing crushed stone, wood chips, and other similar materials in heavily used areas where vegetation is hard to establish and maintain.

Explanation:  Hope this helps and have a great day
