The answer is - plateau.

The plateaus are relatively flat lands that are found on a higher altitude. The altitude can be anywhere from 600 meters above sea level and up to 4000+ meters above sea level. The reasons for their formation can be different, it can be from collision of tectonic plates and during the mountain formation in certain parts to form a flatter part, erosion, volcanic activity etc. Occasionally people confuse valleys with lower plateaus, especially in countries that are mostly on higher altitude because they seem like lowlands compared to the surrounding area. The best known plateau in the world is probably the Tibetan Plateau which is a consequence of the collision of the Eurasian and Indian continental plates, but there's also some relatively unknown plateau like Vitachevo that is a consequence of a volcano eruption.

alekssr [168]

The Chinese have had restrictions in the amount of children that a family can have, for few decades it was one child, now it is two. Even thought the limit is increased to two children per family, it is a number that will allow the nation to keep it's population on a status quo level.
India, has it worst, the government has not been able to make a solid plan that can be implemented, the wast majority of the population is uneducated, and there's still the pride in having more children, so the population is still growing very fast.

From the standpoint of water availability, which of the four soils; crushed silt loam, aggregate silt loam, fine sand or coarse

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

fine sand

Explanation:

Permeability id a scientific index of the soil to have air and water pass through the soil pore and spaces. As clay soils have a fine texture, with loamy soils moderately textured and sandy soils coarsely textured thus permeability changes from slow to rapid.

As sandy soil is highly permeable i.e 5.0 cm per hour and clay soils having the least i.e 0.05 permeability. Loamy soil is composed of sand, silt, and a smaller amount of clay.

From an agricultural perspective, the soil permeability depends upon the percentage of the see-page and the chemical makeup of the soil. Thus crops can grow more easily this type of soil as the particle size is minute and fine.
