NASA scientists use satellites to monitor two important factors that lead too landslides

Biology
1 answer:
Vaselesa [24]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The most important factors that lead to landslides are the declivity of the terrain and the type of soil.

Explanation:

Stony soils are more prone to landslides, especially on steep terrain and without any type of vegetation cover. During heavy rainfall, these two factors can promote landslides that cause major disasters, as water is able to drag this soil violently. To prevent this from happening and people from being harmed, NASA has developed satellites, which capture rainfall data and monitor the slope and composition of soils, being able to see in advance areas that could be landslides. In this way, it is possible to develop strategies that prevent the landslide from happening.

Which concept emphasizes development resulting from ongoing bidirectional exchanges between heredity and all levels of the envir
pishuonlain [190]

Epigenesis

Epigenesis is the concept that emphasizes development resulting from ongoing bidirectional exchanges between heredity and all levels of the environment.  

Epigenesis is the development of organisms such as plants, animals and fungi from an egg, seed, or spore or egg through a series of phases in which unorganized cells differentiate into organs and organs systems. The theory of epigenesis which claimed that structures evolve during development that are not already preformed was created by the German physician C. F. Wolff in 1759.

What was the Cretaceous tertiary extinction attributed to what major events that triggered the extinction of dinosaurs
vfiekz [6]

Cretaceous extinction also known as Paleogene extinction was a period of time when suddenly around three quarter of the animal and plant species began to get extinct from the land. The event happened around 66 million years ago and is considered as the end of cretaceous era that lead to the beginning of Mesozoic era.

Reasons for the mass extinction:

  • Scientists think that a major asteroid or comet hit the surface of earth which deteriorated the earth’s environment, especially by making it difficult for plants to perform the process of photosysnthesis. This is called as Impact hypothesis and scientists think that it was the reason of extinction of so many species because they found debris of asteroid in the land.
  • There could also be some other reasons like climate changes,volcanic eruptions and changes in the sea level which made the environment unfavorable for the survival of living organisms.
  • One of the best known organism that is thought to extinct in cretaceous period was dinosaur.

Extinction of Dinosaurs:

As stated above the exact cause of dinosaur extinction can not be stated with confidence. This is because cretaceous period was the time when so many unfavorable circumstances took place like diseases,  geologic events ,climate change etc.

However, the most believed theory is that some Asteroid hit the surface of earth and turned the climate very very old. Therefore, those amazing creatures were not able to survive that climate.
