Answer:

Landslides will occur due to the removal of vegetation

Explanation:

<u>Due to the removal of plants and trees from the slope of the mountain, the soil becomes dry and loses its fertility. This dry soil becomes unstable and when it comes in contact with the water (from precipitation), it causes landslides and the materials are eroded along the slope of the valley</u>. When there is vegetation in the slope it absorbs the water into their roots thereby making the slope stable. So vegetations also is an important factor in controlling slope stability.

<u>The landslide refers to the downward motion of particles including rocks, soils, and debris. It occurs when the shear stress exceeds the shear strength of the material</u>.

So a slope that lacks in the vegetation cover is more likely to experience landslide.

Answer:

The mass number of an atom is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons that it contains. In other words, the number of neutrons in an atom is its mass number minus its atomic number.

Explanation:

protons

The mass number of an atom is its total number of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements usually have different mass numbers , but they can be the same. For example, the mass number of argon atoms and calcium atoms can both be 40.

Explain a polar molecules and give examples​
ivanzaharov [21]
Ethanol is polar because the oxygen atoms attract electrons because of their higher electronegativity than other atoms in the molecule. Thus the -OH group in ethanol has a slight negative charge. Ammonia (NH3) is polar. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is polar.
