Students want to determine the impact of soil erosion from the development of new housing. They plan to measure the density of a

species of algae growing along the bottom of a river that flows through their town. The town is built in a heavily forested area, but a large area of trees along the river was recently clear-cut to allow for the construction of a new housing development, which has caused exposed soil to wash into the river. The river flows north to south through the town and is still forested both up- and downstream of the town. Which of the following explains the variable that would be the best for students to measure to determine the direct impact of soil erosion caused by the construction project on the river?

Answer:

D). Turbidity, because a decrease in water clarity would indicate and increase in soil erosion.

Explanation:

The last option most aptly describes the direct effect of soil erosion i.e. 'turbidity' which would assist the students in discovering the impact produced by the construction project built on the river. The turbidity is characterized as the 'unit of measuring the transparency of a fluid or the state of being unclear and lesser sediments being disturbed' which <u>causes a significant fall in clarity of the water which signals that there has been a rise in erosion of soil after the construction of the project</u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

How might the complaints of a peasant and a merchant compare during the revolution
valentinak56 [21]
<span>Since a peasant owns little property and works in the employ of a landowner or business owner, he or she would have little concern for the loss of property and be less concerned if the flow of products is disrupted. He or she would also have more incentive to invest in a revolution that upended the status quo and allowed for more mobility within the social and economic hierarchies. The merchant would be invested in quelling any rebellion that would interrupt the economy and cause destruction of property and good.</span>

what does foster means when he says, "there's no such thing as a wholly original work of literature."
UNO [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Think about it  for a moment. How many different plots can you think of for a novel?

My guess is not many.

Romance

Mystery

Horror

Religious

Historical Novels (Romance usually)

Can you think of more?

Occasionally you do get something original -- something that resembles no other novel (for example). I'm think of something like James Joyce's <em>Ulysses. </em> There are great novel's from the past, but they fit into some category or another. Ulysses does not I don't think. The other genres (like poetry - especially poetry) don't always fit into a category.
