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.

How did land whales eventually became aquatic?
cluponka [151]

Explanation:

To swim, they move their tails up and down, rather than back and forth as fishes do. This is because whales evolved from walking land mammals whose backbones did not naturally bend side to side, but up and down. ... Whales do the same thing as they swim, showing their ancient terrestrial heritage.

Cetaceans are fully aquatic marine mammals belonging to the order Artiodactyla, and branched off from other artiodactyls around 50 mya (million years ago). Cetaceans are thought to have evolved during the Eocene or earlier, sharing a closest common ancestor with hippopotamuses.

Why does DNA replication have such accuracy ?
USPshnik [31]
Because human DNA is so very long (with up to 80 million base pairs in a chromosome) it unzips at multiple places along its length so that the replication process is going on simultaneously and more accurately.
