Steep slopes produce high levels of soil erosion that results in a lost of organic materials and essential nutrients needed for plant growth. Along with slope is exposure…

Introduction Water is a chemical compound comprised of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom and is written in the chemical equation form of H2O. Water has a tetrahedral molecular shape which is also known as tetrahedral electron pair geometry (Ophardt, 2003). This arrangement is due to valence electron pairs, mutually repelling each other at a 109.5-degree angle. This repulsion is caused by a non-bonding pair of electrons and two hydrogen atoms which in turn repel against each other to form…
