Question

1. which of the following is not a characteristic of a watershed? (a) contents of the soil (b) flora and fauna (c) divides with adjoining watersheds (d) carbon sequestration (e) geographical slope

Explanation:

A watershed is an area of land that drains water into a particular body of water. The characteristics of a watershed include the contents of the soil (which affects water infiltration and runoff), flora and fauna (which interact with the water cycle in the area), divides with adjoining watersheds (the boundaries that separate one watershed from another), and geographical slope (which influences the direction and speed of water flow). Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. While some ecosystems within a watershed may contribute to carbon sequestration, it is not a defining characteristic of a watershed itself.

Answer:

D. Carbon sequestration
