Floods can drastically change the land in an area due to____

1 answer:

7 0

Removing vegetation and soil, grading the land surface, and constructing drainage networks increase runoff to steams from rainfall and snowmelt. As a result, the peak discharge, volume, and frequency of floods increase in nearby streams. Changes to steam channels during urban development can limit their capacity to convey floodwaters. Roads and buildings constructed in flood-prone areas are exposed to increased flood hazards, in clouding inundation and erosion, as new development continues.

Nady [450]

Desert rabbits are adapted to the warm climate because their large ears aid in the removal of heat due to the high heat of vaporization of water.
The rabbits that live in the desert are jackrabbits. An extensive network of blood vessels is present in the large ears of jack rabbits, due to this their large ears are used in cooling and radiating heat.

There are 3 main categories of environmental problems that have come about because of the population growth. What are they and e

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

i)declination of resources

ii) air, water and land pollution

iii) global warming

Explanation:

As we all know that population is increasing day by day, all the country of the world are facing rapid population growth.we are facing many problems, the population growth is increasing day by day, the more the population, the more resources we need due to this, the resources is decreasing day by day, we need more resources as there is more population, the increasing population makes more pollution due to this global warming is increasing. We know that there is no more more resources in our world if the resources is finished in this day the future generation will not be able to survive and will not be able to use such resources.we should prevent such resources for future generation also the future generation should get the chance to use such resources .the pollution is increasing day by day .we should control it .the main thing is that we should control the rapid population growth population growth should be controlled due to this global warming is increasing which is very dangerous leading to the declination of ozone layer due to which the harmful rays of sun may enter the earth which may cause various problems in us and cause various diseases due to which we may die.the main thing is that we should stop the population growth, we should conduct public awareness programmes and many more programmes to educate people. Population growth also creates deforestation as the number of people are increasing day by day they need more place to live ,they need more Land due to this they cut down the trees of forest and used to make houses there due to which deforestation takes place. we all know that deforestation is the process of cutting down trees. so the tree should not be cut down as it is the source of oxygen for all creatures living in this whole world and the main thing is that we should provide education to the children and the youth and many more. if we are educated we can stop such population growth. so the main thing is that we should stop population growth by giving education. Education is the only one way to stop such population growth.

Biologists have separated monera into two kingdoms according to the differences between the two groups. in which classification

ASHA 777 [7]

Because scientist found another criteria for classifying organisms such as their DNA composition

Evidences that Taxonomy uses to group or categorizes species range from 
1. "Fossil Records 
2. Comparative anatomy 
3. Comparative embryology
4. Biochemical information 
5. Cellular structure 
6. Behavior"
We also suggest that taxonomy has played various roles mainly in many aspects in Zoology, Botany, Anatomy and Physiology –aspects that include animal and human structures and functions. As the biotic community is so diverse it is classified to Biodiversity and the existence of properly assorting by set standard.

A specialized protein in saliva breaks up starch molecules in food into smaller chains of simple sugars. In this reaction, which

Anarel [89]

Answer:

option d, b, c

Explanation:

Starch molecules taken into the mouth from food substances are processed to an extent of 30% of its digestion. this is carried out by a specialized protein/ an enzyme that is present in the saliva; called amylase or ptyalin. this enzyme acts on the substrate molecule which in this case is starch molecules and convert it into smaller chains of simple sugars that includes maltose and dextrin which is digested in the small intestine.

How is light energy converted into chemical energy during photosinthesis?

qwelly [4]

Light energy (from the sun) is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen in the process of photosynthesis.
carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen
the light energy from the sun is then trapped in the glucose. in order to retrieve the chemical energy stores within the molecule, the bonds have to be broken.
