A gardener is installing several large flower beds. The flower beds will vary in length from
5 to 12 feet. Depending on the type of flower, the flowers are to be planted 3 to 12 inches
apart. The gardener will measure the outlines of all the flower beds first. Then, she must
plant each flower one by one, measuring the spacing of each flower relative to adjacent
flowers in all directions. How should the gardener approach the measurements she
needs to make?

She should use a tape measure to measure both the flower spacing and the
flower beds.

She should use a ruler to measure the flower spacing and use a tape measure
with multiple feet to measure the flower beds.

She should use a tape measure with multiple feet to measure the flower spacing
and use a ruler to measure the flower beds.

She should use a ruler to measure both the flower spacing and the flower beds.

answer; //the above statement is (false);

surface mining destroys mountain tops, landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats. on top of that, it leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land. the landscape changes can also disrupt river channels and streams, which leads to flooding. which, can destroy plant life and other animals as well.

explanation:

the oldest known insects are believed to live around 400 millions ago as suggested by the fossil records.   some plants having woody stems also evolved during this time.

after the evolution of insects the first four legged species or the tetrapods evolved in shallow freshwater habitats from the intermediate species approximately 397 million years ago. the tetrapods went on conquering the land giving rise to amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds.

the major split in tetrapods first occurred 340 million years ago branching off from amphibians.

363 million years ago when the carboniferous period began the insects started roaming on land and taking flights, following which the four limbed tetrapods adapted in the terrestrial habitat.
