D) Contour plowing is used to reduce erosion and sediment pollution.

Explanation:

Contour plowing in farming helps to prevent pollution by reducing surface erosion of topsoil and preventing sediment pollution.

Contour plowing is a farming technique in which crops are planted along the slopes of hills or contoured areas.

  • The rate at which rain water and precipitation moves along slope terrain is very fast.
  • This causes the washing off of the the topsoil on hills to eroded very fast.
  • Contour plowing breaks the slope and farming is done along movement on the contour.
  • This prevents topsoil erosion.
  • It also prevents sediment pollution in nearby streams and water bodies that are located around the valley at the base of the hill.

Which of the following statements about renewable energy resources is true?
Brilliant_brown [7]

The statement that is true about renewable energy resources is that there are endless supplies of all renewable energy resources (option B).

<h3>What is renewable energy resource?</h3>

Renewable energy is the energy that is collected from renewable resources such as;

  • wind power
  • hydropower
  • solar energy

A renewable resource is that natural resource that is replenished by natural processes at a rate comparable to its rate of consumption by humans or other users.

This suggests that renewable resources have an unlimited supply and will likely not be exhausted. This is unlike the non-renewable counterparts like crude oil, gas etc.

Therefore, the statement that is true about renewable energy resources is that there are endless supplies of all renewable energy resources.
