Question:

Which of the following actions could prevent mass-movement disasters?(a)constructing building and roads in stream drainage paths

(b)removing trees from steep slopes

(c)educating people about the advantages of building on steep slopes

(d)digging a series of trenches to divert water around a slope

Answer:

"Digging a series of trenches to divert water around a slope"  could prevent mass-movement disasters

Explanation:

The trenches are made of 12 to 15 inches in width and at least 6-8 inches depth, can help in normal drainage problem. But in long, steep slopes and areas receiving heavy rainfall, digging of trenches is more advisable. It prevents the tripping over and falling down of people, it protects the runoff of edges and also collapsing. These trenches should be filled with coarse gravel or may be small stones. In the final labelling one or two inch of fine gravel or coarse sand. It will make the surface level which will allow the water to seep down.  

an adaptation is a change or process by which an organism takes to be better suited for its environment. for example; migration is a behavioral adaptation, this is needed because birds are not built to last extremely cold climates. there are different adaptations because there are different species needing to adjust to different things, bears don't migrate; they hibernate.

answer: accepted answer: aquatic animals use the oxygen dissolved in water to carry out respiration. since the amount of dissolved oxygen in water is low as compared to the amount of oxygen in the air, therefore the rate of breathing in aquatic animals is much faster than it is in terrestrial animals.
