Which method best helps to prevent wind erosion?

Biology
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]4 years ago

Answer:

Growing more vegetation

Explanation:

Soil erosion by wind occurs anywhere when vegetation and climatic conditions are conducive. These conditions include presence of very strong winds and when the soil is loose, dry, and is composed of fine granulated particles.

It also occurs when the soil surface is relatively smooth and there is sparse or no vegetative. It can also occur where there are large fields with no windbreak mechanisms in place.

The best way to reduce wind erosion is to keep the wind off the soil surface by covering the soil surface. This involves growing of more vegetation, either cash crops or cover crops which serves to protect the soil and keep the winds higher off the surface.

Also trees can be planted around the farms to serve as wind breaks which breaks or reduces the force of the winds.

Also, soil compaction which is the process of increasing the density of soil by packing the soil particles closer together causing a reduction in the volume of air can help to prevent wind erosion.

From the given options above, the best option would be growing more vegetation.

Practicing crop rotation serves to preserve soil nutrients and prevent diseases.

Decreasing riverbank slopes prevents erosion by water.

Avoiding soil compaction would lead to more erosion by wind.

In mosses gametes are produced by _____; in ferns gametes are produced by _____.
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: Mosses gametes are produced by mitosis and ferns gamete are also produced by mitosis.

Explanation:

Mosses and ferns are bryophtes, a group of plants that live in moist habitats and lack true leaves and root.

Mitosis is a form of cell division where a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.

During the life cycle of ferns, the diploid sporophyte produce haploid spores by meiosis. The prothallus of the sporophte produce gametes by mitosis.

In mosses, the diploid sporophyte produce spores from a capsule which open when a small structure operculum degenerates. A single spore germinate to form protenama from which the gametes are produced through mitosis.

Please provide details for this problem. I got 3.24; therefore accept the null hypothesis.
juin [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The Chi-square (X^2) is calculated by the formula:

X^2 = \frac{(O - E)^2}{E} where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency

A standard dihybrid cross is expected to give 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio.

Phenotype               O                  E                                  X^2

Round yellow          104       9/16 x 160 = 90          \frac{(104 - 90)^2}{90} = 2.18

Round green            27        3/16 x 160 = 30           \frac{(27 - 30)^2}{30} = 0.30

wringled yellow         27        3/16 x 160 = 30           \frac{(27 - 30)^2}{30} = 0.30

wrinkled green          2          1/16 x 160 = 10              \frac{(2 - 10)^2}{10} = 6.40

Total  X^2 value to two decimal places = 9.18

Degree of freedom = (n-1) = 4 -1 = 3

Critical  X^2 value at 95% probabillity level = 7.815

<em>Since the calculated  </em>X^2<em> si more than the critical  </em>X^2<em> value, </em><em>the null hypothesis is rejected. </em>

I know that wooden spoons won't burn your hands when cooking, but a metal spoon will so it might be the second one. I am not 100% though
