Biology

Answer: There are various means by which the environment can be affected. These can be human activities or natural calamities.

Landslide is one of the major disaster which can be intensified by human activities.

Mining, deforestation, construction are some of the activities that can loosen the soil which aids to intensify the landslide.

Once the landslide is occurring the loosen soil intensifies the landslide. So, the activities that loosens the soil must be avoided to prevent landslide frequently.

The human activities directly or indirectly affect the nature. The deforestation and the removal of the vegetation  for the purpose of development or timber, the land is exposed to the dangers of the landslide. The tress, plants and other vegetation keeps the soil in place with the help of their roots. The soil erosion is prevented by the trees, but the cutting down of them by the humans increases erosion and hence, the risk of landslide.

State two biological reasons why you consider that the loss of biodiversity matters.
Marat540 [252]
Loss of biodiversity matters because it affects the overall sustainability of organisms in an ecosystem. It also affects how badly an ecosystem will be affected after something, maybe a natural disaster, or maybe a disease, strikes the region. (For example, if a disease affects a certain species of organism, if there was a lot of biodiversity among individuals, some will have some kind of natural immunity to that disease and survive, passing on their favorable traits to the next generation. However, if everybody was the same and did not have the immunity to that disease, that entire population would eventually die out.) <- This is also the reason that lack of biodiversity will inhibit natural selection.
Hope that helped you.

Which characteristic of living things is important to the survival of a group of animals rather than an individual member of thi
mash [69]

Answer:

If a whole specie of organisms has to survive, they should must possess the ability to reproduce and adopt to environmental conditions in better way.

For example: If a disaster occurs or a condition of unfavorable weather occurs, the specie will survive even if only few members remain alive. Because those members will reproduce and regrow the community.

The reason is this that reproduction is not important for the survival of one organism, like organism will still survive even if he do not reproduce, but if a whole specie has to survive and continue, reproduction is most important trait.

Hope it help!
