The correct answer is - c. Hispania.

Hispania is just a latin term for the name Spain, though it has to be taken in notice that the Spanish people don't call the country Spain, but it is Espana in their own respective Spanish language, which is essentially the same, just that the English term is adjusted to the English language.

The name of the country before it was called Spain is:

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In the past, Hispania was the name used to refer to the Iberian Peninsula. This name was given by the Phoenicians. In 19 BC, the territory of Hispania was successfully conquered by the Romans through the Punic war.

Roman power in the region of Hispania did not prevail for so long. Evidently, in 711, the Muslim nation succeeded in taking control of Hispania and called it the Al Andalus region.

When the Muslim and Christian kingdoms were still in power, the name Hispania was used to call the Iberian region that controlled by Muslims only. But at the end of the 12th century, the Muslims kingdom Granada and the Christian kingdom such as, Leon, Castile, Navarra, Aragon, and Portugal joined in the same region called Spain (España). Nowadays, we know the Iberian region consists of two countries, Spain and Portugal.

Identify two ways to reduce wind erosion and how do they work? Please write in complete sentences with correct capitalization, g

enot [183]

Answer:

Two ways to reduce wind erosion are: Covering the Surface of the Soil and Making use of Shelterbelts.

Explanation:

Wind erosion is a natural activity where a soil is moved from one place to another mainly because of the wind power. If so happens that a strong blow of wind comes and takes away with it the volume of soil particles and transfers it to other place creating dust storms.

Wind erosion can be reduced by Covering the Surface of the Soil. This can be done by growing vegetation which will protect the soil by the keeping the wind off the soil surface. Another way to reduce wind erosion is by making use of Field Shelterbelts. Shelterbelts are the best way because it not only reduce the wind erosion but at the same time it also conserve the soil moisture. Shelterbelts is a planting method where fields are planted in rows of varied crops.
