- Habitat destruction
- Soil erosion
-
Air pollution from dust particulates
-
Pollution (especially from sediments)
-
All surface mining techniques negatively affect the environment, though some methods are more damaging than others.
Answer:
b. Vernalization
Explanation:
Vernalization is a phenomenon in which plants require low temperature for the flowering. There is either qualitatively or quantitatively dependent on exposure to very low temperature. This process is known as vernalization. Vernalization defines especially to the promotion of flowering by a period of low climate. For example; Vernalisation occurs in biennial plants. Biennials are monocarpic plants which normally flower and may die in the second season. Some common examples of biennials are carrots, Sugarbeet, cabbages, etc.
