In order for the local residents to lower the frequency of landslides in the region that experiences frequent landslides from heavy rains, they should do the following:
A. Start contour plowing on the slopes where landslides happen.
B. Plant vegetation on the slopes that experience landslides.
Answer: Keystone species
Explanation: A keystone species is a species which occupied a niche so central in the ecosystem that it has a disproportionately large effect on its environment and other species in it.
The coral's function in its ecosystem is so vital that if you were to remove it, the entire community would be drastically altered beyond recognition.
The coral serves as the base structure of its ecosystem.
That is to say that many corals are hermatypic(they form reefs). This reef serves as the environmental structure of the Coral's ecosystem. Built in and around it is a very biodiverse biotic environment. The coral not only serves as a hiding place and habitat for many marine organisms including fish, clams, lobsters, etc. It serves as resting place for larger animals like turtles and also serves as hunting sites for other animal species.
The most common way of determining a keystone species, is to see what happens when that species is removed from the ecosystem. Coral have shown to be so central to their ecosystem that the bleaching of coral reefs due to tourism and climate change causes a massive loss to biodiversity. And this is quite significant as reefs are the most biodiverse marine habitats.
The reactant that brings about the oxidation is called the oxidising agent, and that reagent is itself reduced by the reducing agent.
Oxidation occurs when a reactant loses electrons during the reaction. Reduction occurs when a reactant gains electrons during the reaction. This often occurs when metals are reacted with acid.
Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). Therefore, an oxidising agent takes electrons from that other substance. Therefore, an oxidising agent must gain electrons.
Oxidation happens when an atom loses one or more electrons during a chemical reaction, meaning that its oxidation number increases. This is because the atom loses the negative charge of the electron, which is similar to gaining a positive charge, increasing the oxidation number.
