Factors that affect rate of erosion

Biology
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
7 0

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.

how did cyanobacteria contribute to the evolution of multicellular organisms like the plants and animals we see today
zvonat [6]
Cyanobacteria had a role in the evolution of eukaryotic cell, more precisely their organelles. It has been shown that chloroplast, cell organelles found in some eukaryotic lineages, which are specialized in performing the photosynthesis evolved from cyanobacteria through the process called endosymbiosis. In this process, photosynthesizing cyanobacteria was engulfed in some ancient eukaryotic cell. Eukaryotic cells have evolved from the endosymbiotic events.
<span>By producing and releasing O2 (as a byproduct of photosynthesis), cyanobacteria are thought to have converted the early oxygen-poor, reducing atmosphere into an oxidizing one. This caused the Great Oxygenation Event which dramatically changed the Earth's life forms and led to the formation of multicellular organisms.</span>
