<u>Answer:</u>

The threats of California soil resources are soils, urban development

<u>Explanation:</u>

Native soils, unmodified by  human activity, are becoming  rare and we are losing the valuable  power they provide.  Soils in the Delta continue to subside.

Urban development has expanded into vast acres of prime farmland in California,  diminishing our capacity to produce sustainable food and fiber.Increased fire frequency will increase soil erosion, resulting in depletion of nutrients from the soil and polluting the surface waters that receive the runoff.

There are many threats to the soil resources in California some of them are Hydraulic mining, Forest fires, and Solar plant installation.

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

  • Soil resources are said to be degraded when there is a decline in soil productivity.
  • This decline in soil productivity can be due to many factors.
  • The balance between the soil and the environment is usually disturbed by humans.
  • The first threat is the hydraulic mining in California disturbed natural soils.
  • Agriculture in California only depends on irrigation and the changes in water budgets largely affect the soil there.
  • Forest fires and its activities that are carried out to suppress fire causes soil erosion.
  • Also, the construction of solar and wind power facilities is disturbing the soil in deserts.
  • Thus, gradually California is reaching a point where undisturbed soil is rarely found.

lawyer [7]

Vibrissae, more commonly known as whiskers, are sensory hair that generally have a tactile sense, which is equivalent to skin. They grow on most mammals except monotremes (duck-billed platypus and echidnas) and humans, though humans still have remnants of the muscles once associated with vibrissae in their upper lips. Vibrissae serve a number of purposes: such as sense of touch; detection of danger, air and water currents, and movements of other animals; and the locating of food.
