How does vegetation slow and prevent sediment loss?

Chemistry

Inga [223]3 years ago
5 0
Vegetation cover is the most effective and practical way to prevent loss of sediment. The roots of vegetation such as grass bind soil particles together to resist erosion especially from runoff water. Vegetation helps absorb the impact of raindrops to prevent detachment of soil particles. Vegetation can flatten act like shingles on a roof, which allows the runoff to flow above the soil. Stiff standing vegetation act as a wind break, reducing wind velocity, such that it is not powerful enough to dislodge sediments from the ground surface.

Human activities, like burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have greatly contributed to global warming. In this discussion as
Travka [436]

Answer

Africa

Explanation:

Burning fossil fuels and deforestation is disturbingly heightened in Africa with almost no viable measure taking to control it's effect. No effective programs are presently in place to control excessive tree falling used for herbs, firewood, charcoal business and a whole lot. Below standard carbon rating PMS are in high circulation with fumes, carbon monoxide is full abundance in the atmosphere. Presently, all these unchecked activities have resulted into unexplainable excessive increase in temperatures, breeding neck twisting diseases, severe skin infections, dehydration and increase diabetes. Drought has eaten up landlocked cities in Nigeria and Central Africa. Infact farmers have lost count of the usual natural cycle of rainfall and the beginning of each farming season due to this essential evil of climate change

Carbon dioxide is a colorless odorless gas why is it considered a pollutant?
WARRIOR [948]

Carbon dioxide is a gas having chemical formula CO_{2}, a gas which exhaled by humans and inhaled by plants. It is also emitted from the sources such as cement production and combustion of fossil fuels. It is also known as greenhouse gas associated with acidification of ocean.

Carbon dioxide with other gases acts like a blanket of Earth which absorbs infrared radiations emitted from the sun and thus, preventing the escaping of these rays into the outer space which results in the gradual heating of Earth's surface and atmosphere i.e. increase in temperature of Earth. This process is known as Global Warming.

Hence, carbon dioxide is responsible for the increase in warming of the atmosphere i.e. option (D).

34. 3.15 mol of an unknown solid is placed into enough water to make 150.0 mL of solution. The solution's temperature increases
Digiron [165]

Answer:

ΔH = 2.68kJ/mol

Explanation:

The ΔH of dissolution of a reaction is defined as the heat produced per mole of reaction. We have 3.15 moles of the solid, to find the heat produced we need to use the equation:

q = m*S*ΔT

<em>Where q is heat of reaction in J,</em>

<em>m is the mass of the solution in g,</em>

<em>S is specific heat of the solution = 4.184J/g°C</em>

<em>ΔT is change in temperature = 11.21°C</em>

The mass of the solution is obtained from the volume and the density as follows:

150.0mL * (1.20g/mL) = 180.0g

Replacing:

q = 180.0g*4.184J/g°C*11.21°C

q = 8442J

q = 8.44kJ when 3.15 moles of the solid react.

The ΔH of the reaction is:

8.44kJ/3.15 mol

= 2.68kJ/mol
