The environmental benefit of the leaf canopy of a tree slowing down the impact of raindrops and the root system absorbing water and holding soil in place would be that the water erosion of soil would be minimized.

The washing away of topsoil by water is termed water erosion. This event has a number of impacts on the ecosystem, including:

  • reduced agricultural yields
  • damages to infrastructures such as roads
  • washing away into nearby water bodies can cause eutrophication
  • water quality of nearby water bodies becomes impacted negatively

The leaf canopies of trees prevent raindrops from having maximum impact on soil structure while the roots of trees absorb water and also holds soil structure together to limit water erosion of the soil. This will in turn prevent negative consequences to the environment.

Hi,

I think that you're missing some options, but here they are (let me know if I'm right!

-A population of wolves was introduced
-The amount of disease in the deer population decreased
-More grass was planted

Now, if the gene diversity decreased, it means that a lot of deer died. This could happen because wolves were introduced -this is the correct answer, and the wolves ate some deer.

Which best explains mantel convection
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The heat given off by Earth's core is circulated through mantle convection.

Explanation:

Heating materials usually causes them to <em>expand</em>; as they become hotter, they also become less dense. Convection describes the transfer of heat from hot areas of liquids and gases to cooler ones. This causes the heated, less dense material to rise and more dense material to fall, as it’s pulled by gravity. Super-heated metal forming Earth’s central core heats rock in the mantle; the hot and cool rock slowly rise and sink- this circulation process is called mantle convection.
