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.

Ronch [10]

Scientists have isolated the gene that produces the bioluminescence protein and inserted the gene into the embryos of tetra fish. This results in tetra fish that produce a green glow.

<h3>How, support your answer?</h3>

Tetra fish is a type or an example Glofish that has undergone genetic modifications whereby the gene in jelly fish that produces the green fluorescent protein (GFP) was extracted and inserted into the embryos of the tetra fish thereby causing them to glow or fluoresce in the presence of Ultraviolet light or natural light.

The genetically modified tetra fish passes this fluorescent gene from one generation to another.

Thus, The aim of this genetic modification in tetra fish was to be able to detect water pollution in the sea using the glow of the tetra fish.

What are 2 ways the carbon cycle interacts with the atmosphere.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere. Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.

A teacher writing to a confused student.

bacteria are microscopic (very tiny) organisms that are unicellular (made up of a single cell). One fundamental difference is that bacterial cells lack intracellular organelles, such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, and a nucleus, which are present in both animal cells and plant cells.
