Question

soil erosion is mainly due to which of the following reasons?
wave action
earthquakes
heavy rainfall
deforestation
question 11
what are the potential impacts of climate change on central america?
increase rates of skin cancer on indigenous people
intensify droughts and hurricanes in the region
reduce access to good land for agriculture
improve federal money for climate change research

Explanation:

• For the first question, deforestation removes tree - roots that hold soil in place, making it a major cause of soil erosion. Wave action mainly affects coastal areas, earthquakes are not a primary cause of soil erosion, and while heavy rainfall can contribute, deforestation exacerbates its impact.
• For the second question, climate change can lead to more extreme weather events like droughts and hurricanes in Central America. Skin cancer rates are more related to ozone layer depletion and UV exposure rather than general climate - change impacts on the region. Reducing access to good land for agriculture is a more long - term and complex issue not directly a primary impact of climate change in the short - term. An increase in federal money for climate change research is not an impact of climate change itself.

Answer:

• First question: D. deforestation
• Second question: B. Intensify droughts and hurricanes in the region
