How does contour plowing in farming help to prevent pollution?

Biology
1 answer:
wel3 years ago
8 0

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.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:the part of the brain that has most likely been damaged in this experiment is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) found in the hypothalamus of the brain.

Explanation:

circadian rhythms are behavioural changes that respond to light and darkness in an organisms environment. The sleep-inducing wake cycle is a good example of a circadian rhythm. In the experiment, the disruption of the mouse SCN led to development of imbalances in the circadian rhythm of sleep and wake cycle leading to falling asleep and waking up at random times of the day and night. I hope this helps. Thanks

nataly862011 [7]
Plantae: Autotrophic, Multi- or Monocellular, have cell walls as well as a membrane, have a chloroplast making the characteristic green color and to capture sunlight for photosynthesis. Break down generated glucose into it's components.

Animalia: Heterotrophic, Multi- or Monocellular, have a cell membrane made of a phospholipid bilayer, and many mitochondria to aid with movement energy. Feed on plants or other animals. Eukaryotic cells.

Fungi: Heterotrophic, most Multicellular, have a rigid cell wall made of chitin, specialized cells to aid with decomposition of dead organic matter. Eukaryotic cells.

Protista: Can be plant-like, animal-like, or fungus-like. Most are single-celled, may be chemosynthetic or photosynthetic. Eukaryotic cells.

Archeabacteria: Prokaryotic. Do not have nuclei or membrane-bound organelles. Move around using a flagellum to propel itself. Lives in mainly fluid environments (air, water). Separated from Eubacteria due to it's high tolerance of extreme conditions, such as high salinity, no oxygen, burning heat, or freezing cold. Can be chemosynthetic or anaerobic, as well as aerobic.

Eubacteria: Normal, everyday bacteria. Prokaryotic, chemosynthetic, anaerobic, or aerobic. Do not have nuclei or membrane-bound organelles. Mobile using a flagellum to propel itself.
