Answer:

farm management, rainfall, climate, soil type, soil cover, landscape, type of wave, crops, rock strength and position of coast.

Explanation:

Erosion can be defined as a geological process which typically involves the wearing out of earthen (soil) materials and the transportation of these materials by natural forces like water, wind, etc. Soil erosion is greatest when the soil is steep.

The steepness of a body such as river or stream refers to the downward slope or gradient of the body of water.

Generally, the steepness of a body affects the rate at which other materials would flow or move around. Thus, the steeper a river or stream, the greater would be its rate of erosion.

Other factors that affect the rate of erosion in an area include the following; farm management, rainfall, climate, soil type, soil cover, landscape, type of wave, crops, rock strength and position of coast.

What would be the result IF DNA did not

stellarik [79]

Answer: The daughter cells develop after the cell division will have unequal number of chromosomes.

Explanation:

The interphase is the stage of the cell cycle in which the parent cell prepares itself for division. It increases in size and develops organelles for cell division. Before the cell division the replication of the genetic material in the form of DNA is necessary so that both daughter cells receive equal amount of genetic material after the cell splits by mitosis. Mitosis is a cell division in which the parent diploid cell splits into two haploid daughter cells. Each daughter cell receives the half the chromosomes as that of the parent cell.

How did Mendel discover that the blending theory of<br> inheritance was incorrect using pea plants?

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Mendel disproved the blending theory of genetics when he cross pollinated tall and short pea plants and the offspring were either tall or short, not medium like the blending theory of genetics suggests.

Black coffee has a pH around 5; hand soap has a pH of 10. How many times more acidic is coffee relative

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 10^5 \ or \ 100,000 \ times \ more \ acidic}}$

Explanation:

The pH scale stands for the power or potential of hydrogen. It measures how acidic or basic a solution based on the concentration of hydrogen ions and a scale from 1 to 14.

This scale is unique because it is logarithmic. So, every time the pH changes by 1 on the scale, the actual concentration of the solution increases or decreases by a tenfold.

So, a solution with a pH of 7 is ten times more acidic than a solution with a pH of 8. This can be translated to:

$10^ {difference \ in \ pH}$

The black coffee has a pH of 5 and the hand soap has a pH of 10. We want to find how many times more acidic coffee is, so we subtract 5 from 10 and get 5. The difference in pH is 5.

$10^5=100,000$

Coffee is <u>10⁵ or 100,000 times more acidic than hand soap.</u>
