Describe the role of forest cover in retaining the ground water
Explain different methods used to prevent salinity?
Explanation:
Type of salinity and their prevention
There are different types of salinity, each with different causes and varying treatment.
Dryland salinity is the accumulation of salts in the soil surface and groundwater in non-irrigated areas. It is usually the result of three broad processes:
groundwater recharge (or deep drainage)
groundwater movement
groundwater discharge.
Often it results from replacing deep-rooted native vegetation with shallower-rooted crops and pastures, which take up less water. Unused rainwater leaks into the ground causing groundwater to rise and dissolve salts stored deep in the soil. The salty water may:
rise to the surface causing waterlogging and/or scalding
emerge at the break of a slope as seeps
flow over the surface or underground into streams and rivers.
Irrigation salinity
Irrigation salinity is the rise in saline groundwater and the build-up of salt in the soil surface in irrigated areas. It is caused by using large volumes of irrigation water that locally raise groundwater levels and mobilise salt. Irrigation salinity is made worse when water used to irrigate is from salty sources.
Irrigation salinity can be controlled by using water efficiently. Crops should receive only the amount of water they can actually use. Reducing water usage in irrigated areas generally requires changes to irrigation infrastructure and technology, and better matching of crops to soil types.
Urban salinity
Urban salinity is a combination of dryland and irrigation salinity processes and is mainly caused by rising groundwater bringing salts to the land surface. The rise in groundwater is caused by blocked or changed natural drainage paths due to:
urban development
over-watering of parks and gardens
leaking pipes, drains and tanks.
In the urban environment, other sources of salt that can contribute to urban salinity include:
effluent
building materials
industrial waste water
fertilisers and chemicals.
Industrial salinity
Many industrial processes have the potential to increase salinity levels in rivers. Examples are:
saline water from mines (working and abandoned) from groundwater seepage and from rainwater coming into contact with mine workings or spoil
discharged cooling water from coal-fired power stations that has been partly evaporated, concentrating the salt content
effluent being discharged.
Calculate the amount, in grams, of an original 300-gram sample of radioactive isotope Potassium-40 remaining after
3.9 billion years if its half life equals 1.3 x 10^9 years.
Answer:
The current amount of the Potassium-40 sample is approximately 37.521 grams.
Explanation:
The amount of the sample of the radioactive isotope decays exponentially in time, the amount of mass of the sample as a function of time ([tex]m (t)[/tex]), in grams, is described below:
[tex]m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]m_{o}[/tex] - Initial mass, in grams.
[tex]t[/tex] - Time, in years.
[tex]\tau[/tex] - Time constant, in years.
The time constant can be found from half life ([tex]t_{1/2}[/tex]), in years, described in statement:
[tex]\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}[/tex] (2)
If we know that [tex]m_{o} = 300\,g[/tex], [tex]t = 3.9\times 10^{9}\,yr[/tex] and [tex]t_{1/2} = 1.3\times 10^{9}\,yr[/tex], then the current amount of the sample is:
[tex]\tau = \frac{1.3\times 10^{9}\,yr}{\ln 2}[/tex]
[tex]\tau \approx 1.876\times 10^{9}\,yr[/tex]
[tex]m = (300\,g)\cdot e^{-\frac{3.9\times 10^{9}\,yr}{1.876\times 10^{9}\,yr} }[/tex]
[tex]m\approx 37.521\,g[/tex]
The current amount of the Potassium-40 sample is approximately 37.521 grams.

Define the term climate change and briefly explain why it is important
Answer:
Climate change is the long-term alteration of temperature and typical weather patterns in a place. Climatic Change is important since it helps determine future climate expectations. Through the use of latitude, one can determine the likelihood of snow and hail reaching the surface. You can also be able to identify the thermal energy from the sun that is accessible to a region.
Lines s and t are perpendicular. If the slope of line s is 5, what is the slope of
line t?
А. -1/5
B. -5
C. 1/5
D. 5
Answer:
-1/5
Explanation:
It is an established mathematical proof that the slope of line A perpendicular to another line B is the recoprovaknofokad
Hence the slope of B = the negative reciprocal of B
Given that ; lines s and t are perpendicular ;
Slope of S = 5 ;
The slope of T = - 1/5

paragraph-how high GDP can affect child mortality
Answer:
The authors found that, on average, a 1% reduction in the per capita GDP implies a 0.24 to 0.40 increase in infant mortality per 1,000 live births. In a more recent study, O’Hare et al.17 found effects of 0.33 for infant mortality and 0.28 for under-five mortality. These results are higher than those observed in the present study, which found an association of approximately 0.12 for infant mortality and 0.10 for under-five mortality rate for the total sample, and 0.15 and 0.14, respectively, for the subsample of low- and middle-income countries. This difference is probably due to the countries included in the sample, as Baird et al.14 and O’Hare et al.17 include only middle- and low-income countries in their analysis, while the present study included countries from the three income strata, with only 14% of the sample consisting of low-income countries. According to Maruthappu et al.6, the effect of economic crises on the health of children under five in the poorest countries is three-fold higher than the effect on children in high-income countries.

Find the number that makes the ratio equivalent to 12:1.
_:8
Answer:
96.
Explanation:
To find how they got 8, you divide 8 by 1, because they are on the same side of a ratio, and you get 8.
So, to keep the ratio equal, you should multiply 8 by 12 to get the equal ratio.
8 x 12 = 96.
Weather is a result of different air masses coming in contact with each other. Use the fronts and pressure systems on the weather map to identify the weather condition that is labeled correctly.
Answer:
Mild weather.
Explanation:
Mild weather is the weather that labeled correctly because the regions nearer to the ocean or sea have mild weather condition. Due to near of water, the coastal regions experiencing warmer winters and cooler summers as compared to regions that are situated far from the ocean or sea. This is a result of ocean temperatures that taking longer to warm up and cool down than the adjacent landmass.
Answer:
mild weather

Can someone please write a summary based upon the Middle East and Russia?
Answer:
Since the 1930s the Middle East has emerged as the world's most important source of energy and the key to the stability of the global economy. This tumultuous region produces today 37% of the world's oil and 18% of its gas. When it comes to reserves, the Persian Gulf is king. --> MIDDLE EAST.
Russia, country that stretches over a vast expanse of eastern Europe and northern Asia. Once the preeminent republic of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.; commonly known as the Soviet Union), Russia became an independent country after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991. --> RUSSIA
Explanation:
SUMMARY UPDATED:
The middle east may be emerged as one of the most important source of energy to the world but Russia is one of the biggest places in the world although it is an independent country causing there to be more recourses from Russia compared to Middle East! The only difference here is that Middle East has been important since 1930s but Russia became independent form Soviet Union on 1991.

Describe ONE way how agriculture as a primary sector is linked to the secondary and tertiary sectors
Answer:
One link between the primary sector the secondary sector, and the tertiary sectors, is the production of cotton which are used for the manufacture of clothing material, which are used by the secondary sector to manufacture clothing, and other fabrics, that are used by the tertiary sector for furnishing and trade
Explanation:
The primary sector is the sector that has land as the main input
Therefore, the primary sector includes sectors such as the agricultural sector
The secondary sector, manufactures goods using raw materials for the goods being the produce of the primary sector, including crops such as cocoa, used to produce food drink, corn, barley, millet, and grapes used for making alcoholic beverages, wheat, used for making bread, and cotton
