Rainforests cover around 2% of earth’s surface but contains approximately 50% of earth’s species.
The correct answer is - deforestation.
Deforestation is a huge issue when it comes to soil erosion. When there's thicker vegetation the soil is in place and the erosion is minimal. This is due to the root systems of the trees, bushes, grashes, that are making a natural net inside the soil that holds it in place and doesn't allow the soil to be moved away and thus erosion to take place. But when we have a deforested landscape than the situation is the total opposite. The soil is left on its own and it doesn't have any protection from the root systems to keep in place, so with every rain it is eroding slowly and occasionally quickly when there's heavy rainfall. Most of the erosion takes place on the steeper parts.
The answer is E.
A, B, C, and D are either irrelevant or already included.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
This can be explained in accordance with the General Relativity theory of Einstein's which says that the time dilation depends directly on the intensity of gravitational field (for an observer outside the field).
So, as the intensity of the field increases so does the time dilation.
The black hole has highly intensified gravitational field and as such the time dilation near the boundary of the black hole also increases immensely and stops at the event horizon.
Thus the gravity of a black hole is sufficient enough to slow down a clock as one gets nearer to it.
Think about how those countries are islands, and how cultural diffusion works. Do you think it would be easier or harder for cultures to spread around there?
