During a rainy spring, where are you most likely to find surface runoff

Answers

Answer:

On a sloped parking lot

Explanation:

Surface runoff can be referred as the flow of water, that occurs when the excess water flows from the storm water, melt water, flood, rain streams and rain fall. The fast moving water current takes along with it superficial layers like surface and sub- surface layers of soil. Hence, causes water erosion of soil. The slope parking lot will favor, surface runoff more likely than in a grassy prairie, mulched flower bed, or in a sand pit because the slope will provide a surface for free flow of water. There are chances that water gets absorbed by the soil in the grassy prairie, mulched flower bed and sand pit. Whereas the slopy surface of parking lot will not allow the water retention by soil, instead will accelerate the flow of water.

Which of the following statements about primates is NOT true?a. All primates typically have five digits on each hand and foot.
b. All primates rely more on vision and less on their sense of smell.
c. Primates tend to have large brains in relation to their body size
d. Primates usually give birth to one offspring at a time.

Answers

Answer:

b. All primates rely more on vision and less on their sense of smell.

Explanation:

Primates make up a group of vertebrate animals and include apes (monkeys), lemurs and humans. All these beings have many similarities to each other, for example, all primates usually have five digits on each hand and foot, primates tend to have large brains in relation to body size and the larger the smarter brain the primate is, primates usually give birth one baby at a time. Not all primates rely more on sight and less on smell; humans tend to rely on sight more than on smell, but most other primates have more developed than humans, so the smell is more important to them.
