Compaction b. Erosion c Urban Development uination with chemicals

Explanation / Answer

20. (d) no tillage farming,

no tillage farming technique in agricuture prohibit soil erosion and control soil loss. this technique is also usefull to increase infilterated water in the soil

21. soil provide all necessary element to plants to grow. there are two important and necessary things which are helpful for the growth of the plant are

a. water

b nutrients

22. plant needed a high soil quality for growth, with the time soil quality decreases because of frequent crop rotations. soil lack of nutrient because of it . so we need to increase the soil quality. one of the most effective single thing is organic material, which is useful to imrove soil quality. so the right option is

(C) organic material

23. during the 1800 in the eastern United States significant amount of land were changed from agriculture into urban area.

so the right option is (B) agriculture , urban areas

24. urban development significantly increase __runoff__and decrease _infiltration___ rainfall compared to a forested condition

because of urban development , concrete roads and structure prohibit the infiltration of rainwater into the ground. and runoff increases.

25. erosion ie leading soil loss, urban development leanding lack of soil watere and chemiscals affect the soil quality so there is only one option compaction which is not a problem for soil.

(A) compaction
