Answer:

C)

Explanation:

The removal of natural vegetation would affect the growth of the dunes in a negative way for the family. While it may seem to them like a good idea to uproot the local vegetation, this would be a grave mistake since beach vegetation is largely responsible for protecting the integrity of the beachfront and protecting it from rampant erosion by wave action.

Another unexpected consequence would be the changing patterns of dune movements since vegetation also anchors dunes.

Answer:

c)  Removing the sand may increase beach erosion, and the area may suffer nearshore flooding.

Explanation:

  • It's since the removal of the sand along the beaches shores will result in more erosion and thereby the increase chances of the flooding along the beaches and this can have serious damage to the ecology of the surrounding areas.
  • Thus there is a risk of high tides and the risk is also associated with the development of large tidal inlets and the occurrences of large storm waves.

Which was part of the green revolution? Check all that apply.
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

A. Higher standard of living for most people

The Green Revolution brought massive improvements in agriculture, which led to a great increase in food production that benefited most people around the world.

C. Pollution from fertilizers

The higher yields and output brought by the Green Revolution were facilitated by the extensive use of fertilizers in lands that are not as fertile/suitable for agriculture. This extensive use has also brought a new series of environmental problems.

D. Animal antibiotics and growth hormones

The Green Revolution was also manifested in the field of animal husbandry. In this field, antibiotics and growth hormones became commonplace for the same reason that fertilizers became commonplace in vegetable crops: increase output and productivity.
