Local Officials are concerned that agricultural fields at site B are increasing sedimentation in the river because of soil eroding from the fields. They hire an environmental consulting company to perform a study to determine if this is true. The company marks out two one-hectare plots at point B and point C in the diagram. The characteristics of the land in both plots are identical except that plot B is covered by agricultural fields and plot C is covered by undisturbed forest. Rain gauges are set up at the up-slope edge of the plots, and devices that collect eroded soil are set up along the down-slope edge of the plots. The environmental consultants hypothesize that more soil will be eroded from plat B and from plot C. Data are collected at the rain gauges and soil-collection devices at the end of each month for year.

The results of the study could be altered of there were changes to the land surface in the area of plot B and plot C. Identify and describe one characteristic of the land surface in the plots that could be altered to decrease the amount of erosion in both plots.

Changing the soil type, ground cover

Explanation:

Erosion is a gradual disintegration of the earth surface by water or other natural agents. There are your types of erosion caused by rainfall. They are: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, and gully erosion.

A characteristic of the land surface in the plots that could be altered to decrease the amount of erosion in both plots is to "Change the soil type and ground cover alternatively."

i would expect light rain in pittsburgh throughout the following 24 to 48 hours. the lower/falling weights in urban areas toward the west demonstrate that a low weight framework is moving from west to east toward pittsburgh. low weight frameworks are ordinarily connected with precipitation. the way that you don't see a major drop in temperature in the more western urban areas demonstrates the low weight framework is moving with a warm front, so just light rain would be normal. substantial downpours or progressively vicious climate is just typically connected with chilly fronts, where the warm air is pushed up and over a cool front quickly. this quickly rising air (convection) is what gives you heavier torrential downpours, and other conceivably serious weather conditions.
