In which of the following situations is biodiversity likely to increase over time?
a. a farmer clears a forest area and stays there to cultivate crops
b. a mudslide clears all plants and animals from an area and nothing is done to repair the damage
c. a contractor clears a grassland area and builds a small community of homes and businesses.
d. a forestry company clears a coniferous forest and replaces all trees with white pine seedlings.

The answer is magnitude measures the effects of an earthquake on the area , while the intensity measures the strength of an earthquake.

The answer is atmosphere. there are four spheres of the earth: 1. geosphere (from greek word 'geo' = ground), 2. hydrosphere (from greek word 'hydro' = water), 3. biosphere (from greek word 'bio' = life), and 4. atmosphere (from greek word 'atmo' = air). a magnetosphere is a region of space around astronomical objects controlled by the magnetic field of that object. through the process of elimination, since lightning is present in the air, it can be found in the atmosphere.
