A soil's infiltration capacity A. typically increases when dense vegetation is present at ground level. B. is eliminated on bare
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The infiltration process refers to the downward percolation of water through the soils and gets mixed up with the groundwater. This plays an important role in the water cycle. This water percolation depends upon the following factors, such as-

(1) Rate of precipitation

(2) Type of soil

(3) vegetation cover

(4) Slope of the land surface

(5) Porosity and permeability of the soil (rock).

The rate of infiltration increases with the increasing vegetation cover in that particular area. The plants absorb the water by their roots during rainfall, and this water can flow towards the deeper parts of the roots. The excess water is then allowed to pass through the interconnected pores within the soil (rock), and eventually gets added to the groundwater.

Thus, the presence of dense vegetation in an area favors the rate of the infiltration process.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

What is one situation that can be caused by both nature and human?
Vikentia [17]
Hey there,

One situation that can be caused by both human and nature would be A: Forest fires.

All forest fires need to start is a very small fire. As most trees are very flammable and can catch fire easy. This can be by humans such as a match or a cigarette. Or by nature maybe a lightning strike to start a small fire that would turn into a large one.

B: Would be incorrect because fossil fuels is done by humans. We use it as gas and fuel for various things. And cannot be done randomly by nature.

C: Would be incorrect because humans often resort to large deforestation to get lumber for wood. Usually for houses or other building objectives.

Hope this helps!
