The slope is 9 because we use the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(7+2)/(-6+7)
=9/1 =9
China’s geographic location is inherently land bound, as in not near the coast or ocean which hindered sea trading in the past. This hindered their development through trading via sea ports.
Answer:
The answer is:
Warm surface ocean water builds up, resulting in warmer than average conditions.
Explanation:
When El Niño event comes, sea surface temperatures over the central and eastern Pacific turn warmer than usual. The normal easterly trade winds weaken. Sometimes, the winds even switch and blow from the west to the east.
Answer:
Option (A)
Explanation:
The infiltration process refers to the downward percolation of water through the soils and gets mixed up with the groundwater. This plays an important role in the water cycle. This water percolation depends upon the following factors, such as-
(1) Rate of precipitation
(2) Type of soil
(3) vegetation cover
(4) Slope of the land surface
(5) Porosity and permeability of the soil (rock).
The rate of infiltration increases with the increasing vegetation cover in that particular area. The plants absorb the water by their roots during rainfall, and this water can flow towards the deeper parts of the roots. The excess water is then allowed to pass through the interconnected pores within the soil (rock), and eventually gets added to the groundwater.
Thus, the presence of dense vegetation in an area favors the rate of the infiltration process.
Hence, the correct answer is option (A).
