Answer:

The term that defines masses of rock, earth and/or debris that flow downhill is landslide (option D).

Explanation:

When a landslide occurs, a certain amount of the mass of earth is detached or displaced downwards, due to the instability present in a certain area, especially when there is a slope in that land or slope .

The area that is unstable is usually in proximity to a stable ground zone, over which the slide occurs. The instability produced by the phenomenon is due to the fact that this ground has reached its maximum tangential tension.

In a landslide, the movement of rocks, debris and everything in the strip of land that slides can also be observed.

The other options are not correct because:

A. Tsunami is the term for tidal wave, which impedes the displacement of large bodies of water, like waves, that reach the continent.

B. Aftershock is the term that defines the seismic movements after an earthquake.

C. Liquefaction of the earth implies that a compact terrain loses strength and becomes semi-liquid.

When farmers leave plant stalks in the field to reduce soil erosion, it is called ____. a. contour farming c. no-till farming b.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

In no-till farming method, the farmer usually uses a no-till planter with the help of which they make a narrow type of trench that is sufficient enough for the seed to be grown in rows. The residue of the cover crop is allowed to place on the surface of the soil by not plowing, as a result of which the soil is protected from getting eroded and losing of moisture content. This improves soil quality.

This method helps in increasing the water content that percolates down into the soil, holding the organic matter and recycling of nutrient matters. It also expands the growth and population of microbes in the soil, which provides more nutrients to the soil and increases the fertility of the soil.

Thus, when a farmer leaves plant stalks in the field to reduce soil erosion, then it is known as no-till farming.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
