Downhill creep, also known as soil creep or commonly just creep, is a type of creep characterized by the slow, downward progression of rock and soil down a low grade slope; it can also refer to slow deformation of such materials as a result of prolonged pressure and stress.
Because of Bangladesh's fertile soil and normally ample water supply, rice can be grown and harvested three times a year in many areas. [5] Due to a number of factors, Bangladesh's labour-intensive agriculture has achieved steady increases in food grain production despite the often unfavorable weather conditions. [5]
Rice production was particular affected, decreasing from 0.3 million tons to 0.1 million tons from 2008 to 2010. If the sea levels rise as predicted in a "moderate" climate scenario, Bangladesh is predicted to produce 0.2 million fewer crops. This number is predicted to be doubled for a "severe" climate scenario.
Soil phase diagram showing soil composition. V is for volume, M is for mass. Subscripts s, w, and a stand for soil particles, water and air respectively. Subscripts v and t stand for voids and total respectively. Date: 9 June 2010, 11:05 (UTC) Source: Soilcomposition.png: Author: Derivative work: 5d7ygtr09h; Sjhan81
A phase diagram of soil indicating the masses and volumes of air, solid, water, and voids. There are a variety of parameters used to describe the relative proportions of air, water and solid in a soil. This section defines these parameters and some of their interrelationships. [2] [6] The basic notation is as follows:
Soil creep; Tree throw; Movement of soil by burrowing animals; Slumping and landsliding of the hillslope; These processes generally combine to give the hillslope a profile that looks like a solution to the diffusion equation, where the diffusivity is a parameter that relates to the ease of sediment transport on the particular hillslope. For ...
Soil bulk density is equal to the dry mass of the soil divided by the volume of the soil; i.e., it includes air space and organic materials of the soil volume. Thereby soil bulk density is always less than soil particle density and is a good indicator of soil compaction. [ 47 ]
With a production of approximately 39.1 million tonnes in 2023, Bangladesh is the third-largest rice producer globally. Rice is grown in three main seasons in Bangladesh: aman, aush, and boro. The boro crop, which is the largest in terms of production, relies heavily on irrigation and fertilisers.
