Answer:

Negative effects of deforestation on the environment are erosion, mass wasting, loss of biodiversity, destruction of ecosystems, climate changes, etc.

Explanation:

Deforestation is one of the major environmental problems. It is not a problem that has occurred recently but has systematically been going on for several thousands of years, but has been becoming a bigger and bigger problem with the growth of the human population. There are many environmental problems that occur because of deforestation, such as erosion, mass wasting, loss of biodiversity, destruction of ecosystems, and climate change.

When the vegetation is stripped from some area, the soil gets exposed much more, so it gets eroded by much higher rates, leading to loss of fertile soil. The soil also losses its stability, so when there are higher amounts of rainfall or earthquakes, there is a high risk of mass wasting. By destroying the vegetation, a lot of organisms lose their habitat, thus they die out or get dangerously close to extinction. Having less vegetation leads to higher temperatures of the soil and the air above it, stronger winds, and a decrease in precipitation, all in all leading to change in the climate on a micro or macro level.

How did technological innovations in textile mills affect the practice of using enslaved workers
Pie
The correct answer is <span>that faster and cheaper production of cloth raised the demand for cotton plants, which increased the need for enslaved workers on Southern plantations. Since you could manufacture more that meant that you also needed more resources and more workers. This led to more and more slaves being bought and the cotton plant owners earning huge sums of money.</span>

Which describes the boundary where earthquake activity occurs along rift valleys?
Andreyy89

Answer:

divergent boundary on land

Explanation:

Divergent boundary involves the crustal spreading of two tectonic plates. Divergent boundary is the separation or rifting apart of two plates. Divergent boundary can occur between oceanic plates or continental plates.

Divergent boundary between oceanic plates , the convection currents lift the lithosphere producing a mid oceanic ridge. Extensional forces spreads the lithospheric plate apart causing an in flow of magma from the interior of the earth. The magmatic materials travels through fissure and oceanic ridges to the surface of the ocean floor. The volcanic material/magma later solidifies to form new oceanic crust with the youngest rock closest to the mid oceanic ridge.

Divergent boundary between continental plates , the convection current usually pull the continental plates upward due to the thickness of the continental plates. The continental plates are pulled thin by the extensional forces resulting to fracture. The fracture result into a rift shaped structure. Rift valleys are formed which is a lowland region. The two parts of the continents(lands) that are separated are likely to develop fault on both sides of the rifts. The fractured area along the rift valley is a region prone to earthquakes.

Rift valley are structures found in divergent boundary between continents(land) and are region of earthquakes activities because of movements and fracturing occurrence. The East African rift is an example of this kind of plates boundary.
