Most of the Blackland Prairie ecoregion of Texas has been converted to farmland and ranches. Between crop harvests, some farmers

grow a type of plant called a cover crop, while other farmers leave the fields bare. How do these practices affect the soil of the Blackland Prairie?
A. Planting a cover crop or leaving the ground bare are both practices that will completely prevent soil erosion.

B. Equal amounts of erosion by wind and runoff will occur on farms, regardless of whether cover crops are planted.

C. More erosion by wind and runoff will occur on farms with cover crops than on farms without cover crops.

D. Less erosion by wind and runoff will occur on farms with cover crops than on farms without cover crops.

Answer:

D. Less erosion by wind and runoff will occur on farms with cover crops than on farms without cover crops.

Explanation:

A cover crop is a crop planted to protect the soil from erosion, diseases, etc rather than to produce crop yield.

This type of crop has prevention of soil erosion on the farmland among one of its many functions. Other functions include increasing soil quality, suppress weeds, etc.

Cover crops prevent erosion by reducing the amount of water that is drained off a land because of its deep roots which enables water to be sieved from the ground. Their residue is left on the land to prevent excess water runoff, thereby protecting the land from erosion during heavy rainfall.

Some examples of cover crops are legumes and grasses.

Therefore, farmers in Blackland Prairie that leave their farms bare are more at risk of erosion than farmers that plant cover crops.

Friction is a force that results whenever two surfaces are ______ together.
koban [17]

Answer:

"rubbed together"

Explanation:

Friction is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.

What organisms can get up to 10 centermeters in size
Svetach [21]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

A Single-Celled Organism

<h2><u>Explanation:</u></h2><h3><u></u></h3>

The giants of the deep are so-called xenophyophores, sponge-like animals that—like amoebas—are made of just one cell. They were found during a July research expedition run by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California.

The animals are about four inches (ten centimeters) long—among the largest single-celled organisms known to exist.

The creatures were discovered at depths of 6.6 miles (10.6 kilometers). That breaks a previous record for xenophyophores found in the New Hebrides Trench at 4.7 miles (7.6 kilometers).

Xenophyophores represent, <u>"one of the few groups of organisms found exclusively in the deep sea,"</u> said Lisa Levin, a Scripps oceanographer who studied the expedition's data.

<u>"If any creatures should be able to live at the ocean's greatest depth, then xenophyophores certainly should be among them."</u>

The Mariana xenophyophores were seen in footage from Dropcams, free-falling devices equipped with lights and digital video that were developed by the National Geographic Society. (The Society owns National Geographic News.)

Protected by thick walls of pressure-resistant glass, the Dropcams were baited to attract whatever marine life might be lurking in the deep. Expedition scientists also saw, for instance, the deepest-swimming jellyfish to date. (Watch a video of the expedition.)

<u>"The deep sea is the largest biome on Earth and holds much of the diversity on the planet—[yet it's still] largely undescribed,"</u> Levin said in an email to National Geographic News.

(Also see, <u>"Pictures: Hard-to-See Sea Creatures Revealed."</u>)

According to Jon Copley, a marine biologist at the U.K.'s University of Southampton, <u>"many of the major discoveries in deep-sea biology have come from making direct observations at the seafloor."</u>

<u>"The Dropcam is a great tool for the future, because it can help us see more of what's down there for less cost than using ROVs or submersibles,"</u> he said via email.

For instance, <u>"finding xenophyophores far deeper than before shows how much we still have to learn about our oceans depths and their inhabitants."</u>

Tullis Onsott, an expert in deep-sea microorganisms at Princeton University, also called the xenophyophore discovery, <u>"fantastic."</u>

Name the phase:<br>Hint: Chromosomes are moving apart.​
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Mitosis it's the Anaphase

when the spindle fibres contract, each chromosome splits at the centromere, and its two chromatids are pulled apart towards opposite ends of the cell. Each chromatids is actually a single stranded chromosome, since DNA replication took place
