It causes soil pore spaces to become smaller, and it reduces water infiltration rate into soil, and decreases the rate that water will penetrate into the soil root zone and subsoil.

Answer:

Factors which lead to or favour soil compaction are

- use of heavy vehicles, equipment on field and

- type and condition of soil also plays an important role in causing soil compaction.

Explanation:

The causes of soil compaction are as follows –  

a) Use of heavy machines on field – Use of heavy axle machines with weight exceeding 10 tons causes compaction of soil to greater depth.  

b) Frequent and early planting also causes soil compaction due to continuous weight on soils.  

c) Soil type -  Soils with low level of organic matter are more susceptible to compaction as they do not have gravels (aggregate) to resist the compaction forces.  

d) Soil condition – Wet clay soils are easily compactible as compared to sandy soil.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

Explanation:

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the central nervous system of mammals, especially humans, which is responsible for the regulation of communication between the brain cells, and also implicated in the slowing down of signals as neuronal impulses is reduced when it is activated. This is mostly responsible for the extreme uninhibited behaviors often associated with large alcohol consumption.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

12 : 3 : 1

Explanation:

According to Mendel's principles, a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous summer squash parents (WwGg X WwGg) should yield offsprings, 12 with white, 3 with yellow and  1 with green color phenotype. The classic Mendelian phenotypic ratio for dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. In this case, genotypes W- G- and W- gg produce white color phenotype. This is because we have 12: 3: 1 phenotypic ratio in which the alleles of two different genes assort independently into gametes.

<em>Dihybrid cross for heterozygous summer squash:</em>

                    WG         Wg            wG            wg          

    WG      WWGG   WWGg     WwGG     WwGg

    Wg       WWGg   WWgg     WwGg      Wwgg

    wG        WwGG    WwGg     wwGG      wwGg

      wg       WwGg    Wwgg     wwGg        wwgg

   Genotypes:

   W-G-  and W- gg  = white = 12

    ww G- = yellow = 3

     ww gg = green = 1

Water moves from — to —
denis-greek [22]

Answer: Water, in its many forms, moves all over the Earth. Water vapor moves with the air currents, falling as rain from the clouds. Frozen glaciers creep slowly down from polar regions, then recede as they warm and melt. Liquid water moves from rushing rivers to ocean currents or to groundwater.

The water, or hydrologic, cycle describes the pilgrimage of water as water molecules make their way from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back again, in some cases to below the surface. ... Earth's water continuously moves through the atmosphere, into and out of the oceans, over the land surface, and underground.
