The right option is; a. soil degradation

Soil degradation most plausibly accounts for the reduction in corn yield.

Soil degradation is an environmental problem in which the condition or quality of soil is reduced due to its improper use usually for agricultural or industrial purposes. Soil degradation can reduce the physical, chemical and biological quality of soil. Soil degradation results in loss of organic matter, soil contamination, fertility decline, and soil acidity or alkalinity which can greatly affect agricultural productivity.

Name two plates that are made up of mainly oceanic crust
xenn [34]

Two plates that are made up mostly of oceanic crust are the Pacific plate and the Nazca plate.

Explanation:

There are numerous tectonic plates that divide the surface of Earth, and they can be divided into oceanic plates and continental plates. Another division commonly used is major plates. minor plates, and micro plates. The oceanic plates are plates that are mostly made up of oceanic crust, and the land masses on them are consisted of island arcs, mostly of volcanic origin. Some of the oceanic plates are:

  • Pacific plate
  • Nazca plate
  • Cocos plate
  • Caribbean plate
  • Scotia plate

The Pacific plate is the largest oceanic plate, and it is a major plate. It is dominated by ocean, with numerous island chains scattered across it. This plate is shrinking from all sides as it has subduction zones with all of the continental plates that surround it. The Nazca plate is another oceanic plate, being located between the South American and Pacific plates. It is a minor plate, and it has a subduction zone with the South American plate, which has resulted in the formation of the Andean Mountain Range.

What combines with particles of weathered bedrock to make the fertile soil of the Midwest
Novay_Z [31]

The correct answer is - biomass from the decomposing grasses.

The Midwest is a region known for its highly fertile soil. The reason for this is that the weathered bedrock combines with huge amounts of biomass. The biomass is almost entirely form the grasses. The grasses grow naturally in this region and they dominate the landscape. They grow and die out relatively quickly, as most of those grasses are one season grasses. They manage to create very large amounts of biomass every year, and also they decompose very quickly. The grasses also are high in nutrients, so once decomposed, they give the soil a lot of nutrients as well, which makes it very fertile and suitable for agriculture.
