Ground water causes erosion when it's constantly running/landing on the same surface and each time it does this, it washes away a bit at the surface at a time. it causes deposition when it carries the eroded materials away and drops it off somewhere else.

Which of the following are implicated as drivers in global amphibian decline:
likoan [24]

Answer:

B. All of these are drivers

Explanation:

The populations of lot of amphibians, with rare exceptions, are constantly on the decline around the world. The main reason behind this is the human activity, as it has caused lot of changes, pollution, and dangers for the amphibian populations, which has led lot of amphibians to be on the verge of extinction.

The pollution, especially of the waters, has been a major factor for the decline of the amphibian population. Lot of very toxic chemicals have made the water unsuitable for living and poisonous, which systematically killed off the amphibian populations.

The habitat loss, as with any other group of animals, has left the amphibians without places to live. They have been left without their shelters, food sources, mating grounds, and they have started to die out.

The invasive species, especially the predatory ones, have also had big negative impact. The amphibians didn't had any defense mechanism against the introduced predators, so they were easy prey and their numbers rapidly went down.

Compared with surface currents, deep currents are a. colder and less dense. c. warmer and denser. b. warmer and less dense. d. c
Effectus [21]

The correct answer is - d. colder and denser.

The main differences between the surface currents and deeper currents are the temperature and density, and that actually decides their position in the water, on the surface, or deeper.

The surface currents are warmer, and because they are warmer the molecules are much more loose, so the density is lower, which in return makes it easier, thus it is in the surface.

The deeper currents are colder, and because they are colder the molecules are much closer and more concentrated, so the density is higher, which means that they are heavier, thus fall deeper below the easier currents.

Which of the following factors helped allow for irrigated farming in the arid southwest of the United States? a. the vast minera
Anit [1.1K]
<span>The best answer is (d) water from snowmelts. The American Southwest has many mountains that catch moist air moving westward (from the Pacific) that falls as snow during the winter. The snow melts gradually during the spring and summer when there is little precipitation. The melted snow runs off the mountains into rivers and streams that can be tapped by irrigation pumps. The snowmelt also sinks into the ground, replenishing underground aquifers that can be tapped by wells in the valleys where farming takes place.</span>
