Answer:
The Fertile Crescent was good for farming because of the fertility of its land, a result of irrigation from numerous large rivers in the region.
Advantages:
Irrigation and agriculture developed here because of the fertile soil found near these rivers. Access to water helped with farming and trade routes. Soon, its natural riches brought travelers in and out of the Fertile Crescent.
Disadvantages:
Since the world's earliest civilizations developed in the Fertile Crescent, it is not hard to imagine that there are many geographical advantages. The presence of two rivers and the sediment they leave behind after flooding made for successful crop surpluses. But the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers were also a disadvantage..
It's plate tectonics, Earthquakes can be cause by ...
Destructive boundaries (where an oceanic plate goes under a continental plate which causes pressure to build up by friction, and when is released, causes an earthquake)
Or Conservative boundaries where 2 plates rub against each other causing pressure to build up and be released as an earthquake.
Volcanos can be made by...
constructive plate boundaries where 2 plates pull away from each other, leaving large cracks in the earth for magma to erupt.
As well as...
Hotspots which are on the plate itself not a boundary.
Answer:
Clear Cutting
Pro: Financial Reasons. Clearcutting advocates argue that the method is the most efficient for both harvesting and replanting trees.
Pro: Increased Water Flow.
Con: Effects on Plant and Wildlife.
Con: Loss of Recreation Land.
Pro: Increased Farmland.
Selective Cutting
Pro: Supports more wildlife by keeping their ecosystems intact
Pro: They build up tolerance and resistance to disease and pests
Pro: Carbon dioxide that is stored by the trees will regenerate (regrow)
faster
Pro: Helps the forest grow back faster
Con: Expensive and time-consuming
Con: Some species will not regenerate (regrow) as fast
Con: More exposure to weather damage such as ice, storms, and fires
Con: Lots of stumps and other tree debris left behind
These are some things I could come up with while learning some info about this.
Because Earth Sciences covers a lot of ground (pun intended) and nobody has the time or ability to do everything well and thouroughly. The field is very highly specialized in its subdivisions.
