during the day to obtain the chemicals for photosynthesis. In water conditions that has a sufficient amount of rainfall‚ the C3 pathway would be considered a disadvantage because the stomata would need to close at night to conserve water due to receiving the water it needs regularly. The C3 pathway would be an advantage in harsh weather conditions that are hot‚ dry and receive little rainfall. The C3 pathway is the most common form of photosynthesis that uses a 3 carbon molecule in the Calvin cycle

Flooding Natural causes of flooding are caused by heavy rainfall that causes a lot of damage. Heavy rainfall causes a lot of damage because the ground does not have enough time to Infiltrate itself and then that cause surface run off. Something else is if a valley has very steep hills/sides. Another thing is if you have rivers flowing in the country. Human causes are made by people cutting down trees(Deforestation). Bridges make the situation far more worse cars and trees would get stuck under

that positioned themselves to be heavily dependent on reservoirs for water. The Mayans made the decision to develop a civilization in a seasonal desert that depended on a consistent rainfall cycle to support agricultural production. Then‚ they engineered a reservoir system that ultimately depended on seasonal rainfall because much of the lowlands had only restricted natural groundwater resources. For agricultural strategies‚ the short-fallow slash-and-burn agriculture method‚ logging‚ and cattle
