Many areas of the world produce just enough of an agricultural product to eat, but not enough to sell for profit. This is called
Lynna [10]

The correct answer is - A) subsistence farming.


Subsistence farming is the type of farming that is mostly practiced in the less developed countries. In here we have production that is just about enough for the needs of the country (and big portion of the production doesn't even come out on the home market, but you eat what you produce, or trade with someone you know). Also this type of farming is still based on primitive tools and is heavily dependant on the climate, and that makes it very unstable and more often than not people are starving because not enough food has been produced.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1. Incised meander.

2. Base level.

3. Terrace.

4. Lake

5. Meander.

6. Floodplain.

Explanation:

Erosion can be defined as a geological process which typically involves the wearing out of earthen (soil) materials and the transportation of these materials by natural forces like water, wind, etc. Soil erosion is greatest when the soil is steep.

The steepness of a body such as river or stream refers to the downward slope or gradient of the body of water.

Generally, the steepness of a body affects the rate at which other materials would flow or move around. Thus, the steeper a river or stream, the greater would be its rate of erosion.

Some of the characteristics of an erosion include the following;

1. An incised meander is a bend in a steep narrow bedrock valley. It avails a river large amount of vertical erosion power and as such enabling a downcut.

2. The lowest level to which a stream can erode is called a base level. Some examples are dam, waterfall, lake, stream, etc.

3. A terrace is the remnant of a former floodplain.

4. Examples of local base level include a stream or a lake.

5. A sweeping bend of a stream which is migrating laterally in a wide, flat valley is called a meander.

6. The flat, broad area surrounding a stream is referred to as a floodplain.
