Answer:

Less than 2% of the US population is currently engaged in agriculture.

Explanation:

The US is a well-developed country, in fact, it is the biggest economy in the world. Naturally, with such a strong economy and high development, the majority of the population is engaged in the tertiary economic sector. The people that work in agriculture, as expected represent a very low percentage, but that is very misleading when it comes to production.

Even though less than 2% of the US population is engaged in agriculture, it is still one of the three biggest agricultural producers in the world. This is due to the usage of modern technology and mechanization in agriculture, so very few people can operate on very large land and produce enormous amounts of agricultural goods. Also, the country is enormous, and there is an abundance of arable land, most of which is used to the maximum.

Human Impact

Introduction to Human Impact

Human impact on the environment carries many negative longterm consequences.
Consumption, altering habitats, and carbon emissions are all human activities destroying the natural world.



Habitat Alteration

Habitat alteration is changing earth's natural compositing by destroying habitats to build upon or fragmenting habitats for roads and access. This is the biggest threat to biodiversity.



Pollution

Pollution is the contamination of Earth's atmosphere and surface (land and bodies of water).
Disposal of human waste results in land pollution, while burning fossil fuels results in air pollution. Land and air pollution affect water contamination.



Deforestation

Deforestation is the removal and destruction of forests.
Clear cutting completely removes all trees in an area for human consumption, such as building materials, paper products, etc.



Human Population Growth

The human population has continued to increase, which means human impact on the environment will increase as well.
Concerns include lack of space, food, and other resources, as well as disease outbreaks.



Acid Rain

Acid rain is caused by burning fossil fuels, which releases acidic gases into the atmosphere. The gases latch on to water molecules and the result is acid (low pH) rain.
Acid rain results in organism death and destruction of infrastructure.

3. An undisturbed soil sample has the following data (Source - Lu & Evett): 1. Void ratio = 0.78 2. Water content -12% 3. Sp
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Wet unit weight = 1.94 g/cc

Dry unit weight =1.05 g/cc

density of saturation = 0.41

porosity = 0.43

Explanation:

given data

Void ratio = 0.78

Water content -12%

Specific gravity of solids - 2.68

to find out

Wet unit weight and Dry unit weight and Degree of saturation and Porosity

solution

we know that Wet unit weight formula is

Wet unit weight = \frac{Gs + e}{1+e} density of water

here Gs is specific gravity of soild and e is void ratio and density of water is 1

so Wet unit weight = \frac{2.68 + 0.78}{1+0.78}

Wet unit weight = 1.94 g/cc

and

Dry unit weight = \frac{Gs - e}{1+e} density of water

Dry unit weight = \frac{2.65 - 0.78}{1+0.78}

Dry unit weight =1.05 g/cc

and

density of saturation is

density of saturation = Wc × \frac{Gs}{e}

her Wc is water content

so density of saturation = 0.12 × \frac{2.68}{0.78}

density of saturation = 0.41

and

porosity is

porosity = \frac{e}{1+e}  

porosity =  \frac{0.78}{1+0.78}  

porosity = 0.43
