Which of the following best explains why clear-cutting forests is more destructive than selectively cutting down trees in forests?a. Clear-cutting eliminates all trees leaving none behind to maintain soil fertility or house native animals.
b. Clear-cutting places the land at greater risk for wildfires.
c. Clear-cutting makes land more attractive for human development.
d. Clear-cutting causes less soil erosion than selective cutting.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is a. cutting trees reduce fertility and eliminates animal habitats. Plant material is essential in maintaing soil fertility. Leaves and branches decay to form humus; removing trees decreases the organic content. Trees are home to many animal species, including birds, insects and amphibians. Some trees are even support or home to other plants. Examples include epiphytes in the rainforest ecosystem. Clear cutting forests disrupts whole communities and ecosystems.

Which explains why a gas does not have a fixed shape?The particles have very high speeds.
The particles are not compressible.
The particles are charged.
The particles vibrate.

Answers

The gas particles are compressible and the particles in liquids/solids are very close together and do not easily compress.

Answer:

The particles have very high speeds.

Explanation:

the force between gas molecules is very weak so the molecules are very least bounded to each other.

Due to very less or weak interaction between the molecules the gas molecules can travel easily in the space.

Since the speed of gas molecules are random and the direction of motion is not influenced by the force between the molecules so here the gas can be compressed easily.

Due to this high speed of gas molecules they do not have a finite shape and it will obtain the shape of the container in which it is stored

So correct answer will be

The particles have very high speeds.

sophia exerts a steady 40n horizontal force on a 8kg resting on a lab bench. the box slides against a horizontal friction of 24n. show that the box accelerates at 2m/s 2

Answers

Force = 40 - 24 = 16N

Force = mass / acceleration

Acceleration = Force / mass

Acceleration = 16 / 8

Acceleration = 2 m/s^2

Force = 40 - 24
= 16N.

Thus, Force = 16N.

By deducing Newton's second law of motion,

F = MA

16 = 8A

Thus, A = 16/8 = 2 m/s²

Thus, the object accelerates at 2m/s²

Which term describe the substance that forms when two or more types of atoms join?A. element
B. compound
C. composite
D. mixture

Answers

Answer:

A. element

Explanation:

A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically. If atoms combine that are of two or more different elements, we call that a compound. All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.
