Explain how over cultivated land can increase the risk of flooding​

Geography
1 answer:
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Factors such as compaction prevent the soil from being able to hold more water and lines and cracks in the soil concentrate the water flow — therefore speeding up the flow of water on the soil's surface. This in turn increases the volume and speed of water flowing into waterways and heightens the risk of flooding.

Why do the countries belonging to OPEC not want to produce too much oil at one time?
Sindrei [870]
Since oil is in such high demand and many of these countries have economic problems, they banded together to create a cartel in 1960. OPEC members realized that if oil prices were too low, they would produce too much and not earn as much money. They also realized that if prices became too high, the overall world economy could be damaged and OPEC would not sell as much oil. BTW, A cartel is an agreement in which a group of producers try to influence the price of their good by limiting its supply.

Question 13(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) Which of the following does not accompany volcanic activity in the Pacific Northwest
svetoff [14.1K]

Ocean ridge does not accompany volcanic activity in the Pacific Northwest.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this process the denser oceanic plate force the thinner continental plate to sink into the mantle. This region is referred as subduction zone, where it results in intense volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

The denser Pacific plate sinks because of the chunk pull impact and it likewise prompts the development of mountains. This sort of impact creates profound center seismic tremors.

It isn't related with the maritime edge as the mid-maritime edge shapes in a disparate plate limit.  In the Pacific Northwest , the volcanic activity  is carried out by the geological process majorly by subduction.
