Answer:
B) Distinctly alkaline diagnostic horizons, thin profiles, lack of organic material, and dominance of sandy materials are features most closely associated with aridisols.
Explanation:
The aridisols are types of soils that are found predominantly in arid areas. They are soils that are not considered as fertile, and are near the bottom by quality of soils. These soils are lacking organic material, and also are very exposed to erosion, with the primary reason being the climate, as it doesn't allow for lot of vegetation to grow. The horizons of the aridisols are distinctly alkaline diagnostic ones, with the profiles being very thin and labile. The top layer of the soil is dominated by sandy material, which is a result of the extensive weathering and erosion in their surroundings, so the wind is mostly transporting small sandy grains and covers most of the area with them.
The answer is D,<span>One culture adopts features from a nearby culture for its own benefit...</span>
The advantage of wind power is that it's a non- polluting energy source.

Answer:
The impact and mitigation techniques are the following:
Explanation:
1. Earthquake: Earthquake cause severe damage to the building and infrastructure that leads to high deaths of people and losses to property. It can be mitigate by making more strong infrastructure and avoid making building in those region where earthquakes occurs.
2. Landslides: It also cause high damage to the soil as well as to the people by killing them. Vegetative cover and growing of trees on the edges of lands can reduce its frequency.
3. Tsunamis: It causes severe damage to the coastal regions and cause damage to the property as well as to the people. The damages can be reduced by making strong wall in the coastal regions. Vertical evacuation to existing natural high ground, tsunami-resistant structures are also mitigating techniques.
4. Floods: It causes great damages to both property, land and people. It can be reduces by making dams as well as reduce pollution that cause global warming.
5. Droughts: It can reduce the crop productivity of an area. Crop rotation. Contoured row crops, Terracing and Tillage practices are the mitigating techniques used for drought.
