Question

which of the following would not increase the rate of soil erosion? * 1 point
removing vegetation
planting cover crops
building on steep slopes
plowing up and down slopes
which of the following mass movements is most likely to occur after heavy * 1 point
rainfall on a steep slope?
creep
landslide
rockfall
soil compaction
the u - shaped valleys found in mountainous regions are typically formed by: * 1 point
rivers
wind
glaciers
groundwater

Explanation:

• For the first question: Removing vegetation, building on steep slopes, and plowing up and down slopes all increase soil erosion. Planting cover crops helps reduce soil erosion by protecting the soil surface.
• For the second question: After heavy rainfall on a steep slope, a landslide (mass movement of rock, soil, and debris) is most likely. Creep is slow, rockfall is mainly rocks, and soil compaction is not a mass movement.
• For the third question: U - shaped valleys are typically formed by glaciers. Rivers form V - shaped valleys, wind forms features like sand dunes, and groundwater has different erosional features.

Answer:

1. Planting cover crops
2. Landslide
3. Glaciers
