Before we answer this question, let’s get some background on what was happening in Kenya at the time.

First of all, a lot of people thought that the election was modified so that one candidate, Mwai Kibaki (who is part of the Kiyuku people, a Kenyan ethnic group), could win. The Kiyuku, in colonial times, were displaced and ended up moving into where the Maasai people lived, leading to tensions. Many other Kenyan tribes also believed that, since Kenya’s independence, the Kiyuku had been dominating the country.

In 2008, Mwai Kibaki was declared the president of Kenya. However, supporters of Raila Odinga called electoral manipulation. International observers then went on to say that both sides were guilty of it. The building tensions about the elections being rigged and it turning out to be true led to protests that started to turn violent.

Essentially, people were angry about a Kiyuku taking the presidency in a rigged election.

abruzzese [7]

The decade 1920-30 or the year 1920 itself came as a very important one, in the lives of women. The 19th Amendment to the Constitution guaranteed women their right to vote, after a century long struggle for the same.

All this while, the suffragettes were fighting for the rights of women to vote. They believed that women and men were not the same rather different. Also with World War I going around, the requirement of more and more people on the field of work.

how did the slope gradient, presence or absence of vegetation, and rain intensity relate to the amount of water erosion that occ
Ber [7]

Explanation:

The steeper the slope the higher the water erosion because steeper slopes increase the flow rate of water runoff by gravity.

The fewer or lack of vegetation on the slope increased the rate of water erosion. This is because vegetation reduces the flow rate of water runoffs hence reducing the capacity with which they can carry more sediments.  

The higher the rain intensity the higher the rate of water erosion. This is because higher intensity increases splash erosion – during the impact of water drop on the surface when the fall from the sky- and also increases water surface runoffs because the rate at which the water runs of the surface exceed the rate at which the water infiltrates into the ground.
