Individual Work Week 5 Suzanne Kamm EVS-1001 Everest University Online Individual Work Week 5 Soil erosion has become a serious problem for many ecosystems. Erosion occurs when the soil and hummus particles are removed from their location by wind and water (Wright & Boorse‚ 2014). This process causes the soil to erode and become ‘barren” and exposed to the elements (Wright & Boorse‚ 2014‚ p. 276). There are three major contributing factors to soil erosion: overgrazing‚ over cultivation

fertile owing to the wood ashes and accumulated humus. After two or three years’ crop‚ when the fertility of the soil is seriously reduced‚ the people again change their land of cultivation. Thus the essential feature of shifting cultivation is the rotation of fields rather than crops. As a result more and more land are exposed to erosion.

currently a pest for over one hundred different host plants through out the country. Economically speaking‚ they do the most damage to corn crops in the Corn Belt. There are three main different types of Corn rootworm: Northern corn rootworm‚ Western corn rootworm‚ and Southern corn rootworm. They all have their own unique way to reproduce and affect the farmer’s crops. Northern corn rootworm has a unique life cycle. The female insects lay eggs in late August. Those eggs then hatch starting in May

of gas and dust. Nowadays‚ the Earth is turning at more than 16 hundreds kilometers an hour‚ bus it’s gradually slowing down about two seconds every one hundred thousand years. BUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THAT SLOWDOWN SPEEDS UP? If the speed of rotation were reduced by about one kilometer per hour‚ traffic air would face serious consequences. Most commercial aircrafts navigate with the help of GPS‚ which rely on a series of satellites that tell an aircraft where in the world it is. But if the Earth
