Is a paved driveway considered man made structure on vacant land?
a paved driveway would not be considered a man made structure as a driveway would not meet the normal definition of a structure (as defined in a dictionary) in my mind, a driveway would be considered a 'use' of land that would be regulated by local zoning by-laws or ordinances

Characterize the ongoing relationship between White Americans and Native Americans during the mid 1800s?
The White Americans gave a peice of land to the Native AMericans so they had to stay on their land and their land only. The belief that the land was rightfully theirs was enforced by the idea of manifest destiny. (coined by John O'Sullivan in 1845). An extremly brief definition of Manifest Destiny is the idea that the Americans had a God given right to the land from the Native Americans. ALthough pioneers had started moving west before the idea arrived, it was the driving force behind the idea of the White Americans as the superior being.
How does capacitance cause signal degradation?
A capacitor is composed of two conductors that are separated by an insulator. This is a simple definition, but it says a lot about capacitance, and it says it very well. By this definition, there could be capacitance just about anywhere in a power system or circuit. Yes! There could! And there is! Capacitance offers "resistance" to alternating current (AC) signals called reactance. The higher the frequency, the less reactance there is and the better the signal will be able to pass through the capacitor. In modern electronic equipment, there are lots of circuit pathways and lots of components in the circuits. This leads to a lot of distributed capacitance in the circuit. This distributed capacitance represents a lot of little pathways for signals to "jump gaps" in the circuit. Signals will avoid going through the components and devices and also avoid following all the pathways it is supposed to follow. The signals will be "shorted around" components or "shorted to ground" in other pathways. This combines to effect signal loss or degradation. The higher the frequency of the signal put through a circuit, the more loss there will be to the signal due to distributed capacitance.

What causes the problem of land degradation in Punjab?
the main causes for the land degradation in the punjab is theintensive cultivation.
Why is land degradation is not a good indication for the future?
land degradation causes soil errosion which further lead to drought and desertification.
Pictures on the effects of land degradation?
Go to google images and type 'effects of land degradation' or just 'land degradation' and you should get what you want. You can also type in things like removal of topsoil & mudslides because they come under soil erosion and soil erosion. Soil erosion is a factor of land degradation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_degradation This website has effects of land degradation. You can also type a few of those effects in google images.
Is land degradation hazardous?
Yes, it is hazardous.
How do you control land degradation?
By planting trees
What is the difference between land degradation and soil erosion?
Land degradation is the land that is being degraded in some form that is negative. Soil erosion is when rock and soil is removed from one location of land to another.
Measures taken to prevent land degradation?
Erosion, deforestation, and waterlogging are all accelerated by human actions and all lead to general land degradation. Conservation efforts to prevent land degradation include gardening, fertilizing, planting trees, and constructing wind breakers.
What are the measures to prevent land degradation?
prevent overgrazing....
What is the definition of natural capital degradation?
natural capital degradation is defined as using normally renewable resoureces faster than the earth can replenish them.
What is the total process of land surface reduction called?
Degradation
What are the causes of degradation of soil?
Human activity is the main cause of soil degradation. Agriculture plays a large part in soil degradation, especially clearing, irrigation, the spreading of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, overgrazing and even the passage of heavy farming equipment. Tillage and the clearing and deforestation of large plots of land also lead to soil degradation. Improper drainage in agricultural fields also contributes to soil degradation.
