Question

a team of conservation scientists worked on the project shown in the image. why is this project necessary at this location? a. soil erosion rates are high. b. droughts are common. c. deforestation is problematic. d. metal ore is not readily available.

Explanation:

The image shows contour - plowed fields, which are a method to prevent soil erosion. High soil erosion rates would necessitate such conservation measures. Droughts are related to water availability, deforestation to tree - cutting, and metal ore availability is unrelated to this farming - related conservation practice.

Answer:

A. Soil erosion rates are high.
