Question

which of the following changes is most likely to happen if the process shown in the picture continues? a. increased loss of soil nutrients b. increased recharge of groundwater c. increased access to useful minerals d. increase in biodiversity

Explanation:

The image likely shows deforestation or land - clearing. Deforestation can lead to soil erosion. When soil erodes, nutrients are carried away, resulting in increased loss of soil nutrients. Groundwater recharge is usually decreased due to less vegetation to allow water infiltration. Access to minerals is not a likely direct result of this general process, and biodiversity decreases due to habitat loss.

Answer:

A. Increased loss of soil nutrients
