What does status degradation mean?
Degradation means to lower some thing's value.
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.
Why is land degradation is not a good indication for the future?
land degradation causes soil errosion which further lead to drought and desertification.
Degradation and depletion of ecosystem due to floods?

What is hydrolyzing a chemical?
This is the degradation of a substance after the reaction with water.
What is Smith degradation?

What would the chemical reaction of a substance on heating?
This reaction is called thermal decomposition or thermal degradation; example: CaCO3 = CaO + CO2
Why when adding catalase to sucrose not makes it bubble?
Catalase is an enzyme that is substrate-specific, meaning that it has a particular reaction that it will catalyze (to speed up a reaction). Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the specific substrate reactant with which catalase will react (in a degradation reaction). This is the degradation (breaking down of) reaction. 2H2O2 yields 2H2O+O2 O2 is oxygen which is indicated by the rising of bubbles upon reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and the catalase. Sucrose is not the specific substrate assigned to the catalase enzyme, therefore they will not react together in a degradation reaction, hence the lack of oxygen release (lack of bubbles). I hope this was helpful to you. God bless and Jesus loves you.
Is the reverse reaction a condensation reaction or hydrolysis?
This is the addition of water to a substance. The water molecules break bonds in the original substance, therefore forming simpler substances.
What chemical reaction break starch down to make energy to produce what?
Enzymes are the cause of starch degradation.
What is plastic degradation?
Plastic degradation is the degradation of plastic.
