Please help I have trouble with this stuff!
All 8 are wrong.
Please go back and carefully read and study your text materials.
these are all the right answers
Only on is right, this is making me mad I have submitted it trusting you and I got it wrong!!!!!
One
1. To answer the question about continental glacial movement, we can rule out options C and D as they are incorrect statements. The correct answer is option B, which states that continental glaciers can flow in all directions.
2. To answer the question about the farmer's soil conservation technique, we can eliminate options A, B, and C as they do not fit the scenario described. The correct answer is option D, which states that the farmer is employing the technique of crop rotation.
3. To answer the question about the ridge that forms when till is deposited at the edges of a glacier, we can eliminate options C and D as they are not correct. The correct answer is option A, which states that the ridge is called a moraine.
4. To answer the question about how wind primarily causes erosion, we can eliminate options C and D as they are not accurate. The correct answer is option A, which states that wind causes erosion through abrasion.
5. To answer the question about what forms when sediment is blown against an obstacle and settles behind it, we can eliminate options A, B, and C as they do not fit the description. The correct answer is option D, which states that the formation is called till.
6. To answer the question about the composition of the A horizon, we can eliminate options B, C, and D as they are not correct. The correct answer is option A, which states that the A horizon is made up of topsoil.
7. To answer the question about the contribution of earthworms to soil formation, we can eliminate options B, C, and D as they are not accurate. The correct answer is option A, which states that earthworms contribute to the formation of silt through their waste and decay.
8. To answer the question about how soil loses its value, we can eliminate options B and C as they are not relevant. The correct answer is option A, which states that soil loses its value when the topsoil is stripped by wind or water, not when burrowing animals tunnel through it.
I hope this explanation helps you understand the correct answers. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
