Erosion

earth shaped? The answer to that is people and nature. Erosion is a big part of shaping the earth. Some different kinds of erosion are wind erosion, and water erosion, when something erodes, that means that it is tearing away at something. Because there is water flow, erosion causes the water to work its way through cracks and expand them. When it is windy outside, the wind erodes things like, mountains, houses, etc. According to “Erosion by Nature” it states that “When it rains, water flows…

Kishan Patel Section: 008 Pattern: Calcium levels in the soil controls soil pH and species richness within a community Hypothesis 1: Calcium levels in the soil controls soil pH. Prediction: An increase in the calcium levels in the soil will make the soil less acidic. Reasoning: Calcium exists mainly in the soil as exchangeable cations (ca^2+) associated with basic anions, which reacts with soil acidity (H) to neutralize it. Analytical approach: Regression Independent variable: Calcium levels…

8.5.3 INTERPRETATION Comment on the properties of the soil GENERAL REMARKS: This test is useful when the soil is soft and its water content is near liquid limit. The following precautions are necessary when using field vane shear tests: 1. The vane must be rotated soon (within 5 minutes) after insertion into the depth to be tested as delays of one (1) hour to one day may lead to overestimation of strength by 10% to 20% respectively. 2. Standard rate of rotation is 6 degrees per minute. 3.…

The ability for early species to cultivate their own food was a development with both advantages and disadvantages. By growing their own crops early humans could be in control of their own food stock. They could plant many crops if they wanted to grow a surplus of food, or choose to farm a minimum number of crops and rely on an alternate food such as herd animals or marine ecosystems instead. This gave people the flexibility to do as they please, instead of having to rely on what untamed…

conditions and soil types. The climate of Pakistan is too dry for forests, except in the northern hilly and sub mountain belts. Soil formation and hill slopes is a requirement for forest growth, but human practices in these areas have contributed to erosion, rather than to soil formation. The country like Pakistan should have 20-25% under the forest. Pakistan has only about 4% area under the forest. Plants play the important role between the Haman being and environment .trees and shrubs are…

The Maya was an ancient civilization renowned for their remarkable architecture as well as their exceptional knowledge in astronomy and mathematics (Peterson and Haug 2005, 322). Reaching their population peak around 750 A.D, the Maya experienced societal collapse between 750 and 950 A.D (Peterson and Haug 2005, 322), the cause of the collapse remaining a heavily debated topic today by archaeologists. This essay will argue that the primary contributing factor of the Maya collapse was drought;…

Humans, though independent as they may seem, have various needs such as food and a tolerable environment among many others. If even one of these needs is left unmet, the quality of life of man would decline, eventual death of some is not impossible. Among the many needs of man, land is involved most of the times. Men need shelter, they put their houses in lands; men need food, they cultivates them in lands. According to Kassas (1995), land is the terrestrial system that includes soil, water,…

this tribe would wake up at dawn and water the ground until dusk. No one saw any point in this nonsense ritual, if you would call it that. The tribe was supposedly watering because they believed the land was thirsty. The one family member named Erosion was very strong and would bring many huge buckets of water back and forth all day long.…

Land surveying is the technique of determining position of points on the earth and using them to define boundaries and draw maps. It divides the land into parcels by providing correct descriptions, which is then assigned for ownership and other purposes. The original charter group from England brought the “Metes and Bounds” system of describing land or real estate to U.S. where it had been used for many centuries. It was used in the original thirteen colonies that became the United States…
