The correct answers are:

- decreased forest land;

In order for the urbanization to take place, the natural areas, usually forests and grasslands, need to be cleared. With the clearing out of them, the forests and grasslands are decreasing as they have been ruined and occupied with infrastructure.

- increased paved surfaces;

The urbanization predicts the building of lot of infrastructure, big portion of which is with concrete and asphalt, thus significantly increasing the paved surfaces.

- increased soil erosion;

Because of the aforementioned clearing of the forests and grasslands, the soil loses its natural protection from erosion, so the soil that is left like that on the open will be very vulnerable to the erosion.

ryzh [129]

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Each of the following statements applies either to the formation of terrestrial planets or of jovian planets (but not both), based on our current theory of solar system formation. Drag the statements into the appropriate bin:

-accreted from planetesimals of rock and metal .

-surfaces dramatically altered during the heavy bombardment

-large moons formed in surrounding disks of material

-ejected icy planetesimals that are now Oort cloud comets

-formed in a region of the solar system with lower orbital speeds

-accreted from icy planetesimals

-formed in regions cold enough for water to freeze

Answer:

The correct answers are:

Terrestrial planets: -accreted from planetesimals of rock and metal , -surfaces dramatically altered during the heavy bombardment

Jovian Planets: -large moons formed in surrounding disks of material , -ejected icy planetesimals that are now Oort cloud comets , -formed in a region of the solar system with lower orbital speeds , -accreted from

icy planetesimals , -formed in regions cold enough for water to freeze.

Explanation:

The terrestrial planets, are those planets that have similar characteristics to the planet Earth.

They have a core of extremely hot and liquid material and a hard surface composed of rocks and metal.

They also have <u>surfaces dramatically altered during the heavy bombardment</u>, which causes craters to appear on the surfaces of these planets.

The planets that are known as terrestrial within our Solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Jovian Planets are those that differ completely from terrestrial planets. The water, ammonia and methane that they possess have frozen due to the distance between them and the Sun.

The planets with these characteristics are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

They are giant planets that are characterized by having a lot of gas, with Jupiter being the largest of them.

Unlike terrestrial planets, they do not have a surface.
