Why does most of the work done in launching a rocket take place when the rocket is close to the Earth's surface?

Inertia can be thought of figuratively as a mass's laziness. Think of when you are lazy. When you're lazy and doing nothing, you tend to stay that way. You continue to do nothing unless prodded to do something. (Perversely, in people, laziness causes idleness and idleness causes laziness.) Well, masses are the same way. When they're inert -- meaning not moving -- they tend to stay that way because of their laziness. That laziness is called inertia. When a huge rocket laden with tons of fuel is sitting on the launch pad, it has tremendous inertia because it is massive. To get that thing moving takes a huge amount of power. But once it's moving, the rocket's inertia, instead of being a handicap, becomes an asset, because any mass, once it's moving, likes to stay moving. Moreover, as the rocket burns off fuel, its mass decreases, so less energy is required to propel it.

Which part of trees help in preventing soil erosion?

The roots of trees are of primary importance in preventing soil erosion, because they physically hold the soil in place, and also because they transport water up from the ground, thus supporting other plants and preventing salinisation of the soil.

The leaf canopies are also important for soil conservation, because they shelter the soil and smaller plants from the drying effects of sunshine and wind and the erosive effects of wind and heavy rain.

How many football pitch sized areas of rain forest are destroyed each day?

On average, 20 football pitch areas are cut down per minute. So, there are 1440 minutes in a day so if you do 20 times 1440 it equals out to 28,800 football pitches per day.

What are the different stages of river formation?

Youth or upper -Usually starts off flowing quickly down steep slopes -usually erode the earth quickly -soft rock eroded quickly -If faster flowing, erodes quicker -Produces interlocking spurs Middle or Maturity Stage -Changes course more frequently -Cuts into the banks on the outsides of the curves -along the inside of the curves sediment is deposited -when river washes back against a valley spur it cuts back against into a steep bank or bluff -Oxbow lakes or loops are caused when changing course cuts off a meander. -Will have received water from many tributaries -Transport more sediment How Materials are transported -Lightest particles are suspended in water -Heavier particles are bounced along river bottom -Pebbles and heavy rocks are dragged along bottom Old or Lower Stage -old rivers meander slowly and aimlessly -rivers deposit much of the loads they have carried through the mature stage -the loads consist of light particles such as mud or sand this is called alluvium -it is deposited along the river bed -water level might be higher than that of the plain this is caused by the deposition of sediment causing high levees or banks -sand and mud at the river mouth may be deposited and form a delta

What does logging companies think about deforestation?

many logging companies care about deforestation, because if it happens they won't have anything to log, but at the same time, they don't care enough about deforestation, because logging is what brings them money.
