Arancher overgrazes his land in an area underlain by heavy clay soils and regolith developed from weathering of claystone. after a series of heavy rains small creeks develop deep gullies along their length. a light steady rain develops and continues for several days. what should the rancher be concerned about on his overgrazed lands?

Slumps along the creeks

Explanation:

Light and constant rain can cause small floods that can cause soil loss. Soil loss in this case will do damage to the farmer, since agricultural crops do not need a large amount of soil to deepen their roots. In the case of the farmer shown in the question, as rain has already caused the formation of small creeks, rain can cause slumps  along the creeks that can be harmful to the farmer and for that reason he should look for ways to prevent this from happening.

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
