Given that humans are living, working and driving on or close to unstable hillslopes, the landslide risk has increased. The negative impact human interventions can have on slope stability and landslide risk is further illustrated by a detailed study on the frequency-size distribution of the mapped...
How does weathering and erosion affect the rock cycle? How do rocks change in the rock cycle? How does the rock cycle impact the lithosphere? Why is the rock cycle important? How does the rock cycle illustrate the conservation of matter? How do humans impact the hydrologic cycle? How do h...
Our sense of smell relies on the detection of airborne molecules. Proteins belonging to a large family –G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)– do this by sensing molecules outside the cell and activating physiological responses. This includes not only smell, but also vision, taste and the regul...
How does erosion affect the lithosphere?Lithospheric Erosion:Erosion literally means the gradual wearing away or destruction of something. In geology, erosion is a surface process in which natural agents, like wind, flowing water, or any other agents, carry away topsoil, broken rocks, and ...
Early humans, Homo sapiens, also used caves sporadically. Living as hunter-gatherers, these species didn't create permanent settlements. They had several ways of building shelters for themselves, such as stretching animal hides over bone, building rough wooden lean-tos or creating earthen mounds. ...
How does runoff cause erosion?Water Runoff and Erosion:The process of erosion can be facilitated by multiple factors and eroding media. Water, wind, and ice are the primary media that cause erosion. Sources of water that contribute to this are snow and rain, which also can accumulate in the...
The lithosphere consists of the upper mantle and crust of the Earth. It consists of rocks, mountains, and soils. Humans use the lithosphere to get food and to fuel their cars. It is surrounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere below. It extends to a depth of 60 miles and is...

How do humans use air currents?Question:How do humans use air currents?Air Currents:An air current is a clump of wind that flows in the same direction. Air currents can move up and down or sideways. Air currents exist because the temperature and atmospheric pressure is not the same all ov...
