The correct answer is D. Earth's axial tilt causes one side of Earth to be more exposed to the Sun than the other.

Explanation:

Seasons and therefore daylight in different locations of the Earth are mainly explained through two main factors. The first factor is that Earth orbits around the sun which make different areas of the Earth to be exposed to different intensities of sunlight. Additionally, the differences between Northen and Southern Hemispheres regarding seasons occur due to the Earth's axial tilt that means the Earth is placed obliquely and this makes one of the hemispheres to receive more light than the other and causes seasons to occur in the North and Sout hemisphere at a different time. According to this, the option that explains the variations in seasons and daylight is "Earth's axial tilt causes one side of Earth to be more exposed to the Sun than the other".

What type of grasses dominate in an area where grazing is heavy or overgrazing occurs?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

short-grass, unpalatable ruderal and shrubs species.

Explanation:

Overgrazing can be defined as the intensive grazing of farm animals in a restricted area of land, usually over a long period of time. During this period, there is no recovery rate for emergence of newer species. Effects of Overgrazing reduces the  usefulness, productivity, and biodiversity of the land and is one cause of desertification and erosion.

In an area where grazing is heavy or overgrazing occurs, short-grass species usually less than 2-3 inches tall exists in the overgrazed areas. In other parts of the world, overgrazed pasture is typically taller than sustainably grazed pasture, with grass heights typically over 1 meter and dominated by unpalatable ruderal and shrubs species.
