Answer:

D. Cold and high salinity.

Explanation:

Ocean water is salty because it contains dissolved salts, with concentrations of about 35 grams of salts per kilogram of water. This means that for every liter of seawater there are 35 grams of dissolved salts (mostly sodium chloride, NaCl). This water is not drinkable due to the high concentration of salts that can dehydrate a person.

Seawater is a salt-rich solution containing 85% sodium chloride (NaCl), also known as common salt, or table salt, which accounts for over 90% of the weight of all salts in the sea.

The salinity of seawater is not uniform around the globe. The least saline water on the planet is that of the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea. The most saline sea is the Dead Sea, located in the Middle East (West Asia), with salinity 10 times higher than any other ocean.

In volcanic processes on marine floors, mantle-based lavas bring juvenile water directly into the ocean, that is, water contained in the inner layers of the planet that has never been in liquid form on the Earth's surface (because it has never been on the Earth's surface before) takes the name juvenile water). This water contains various chemical constituents in solution, such as chlorides, sulfates, bromides, iodides, carbon, chlorine, boron, nitrogen and many others.

In addition, due to the heat of the magma, cold water from the bottom of the ocean as it passes through the floor rocks warms up and exchanges chemicals with the rocky environment. As it ascends, it integrates with the ocean environment.

Your answer would be D. Cold and high salinity. The deeper you go into the ocean, the colder it gets, and the higher the salinity rises.

Answer:

1. Incised meander.

2. Base level.

3. Terrace.

4. Lake

5. Meander.

6. Floodplain.

Explanation:

Erosion can be defined as a geological process which typically involves the wearing out of earthen (soil) materials and the transportation of these materials by natural forces like water, wind, etc. Soil erosion is greatest when the soil is steep.

The steepness of a body such as river or stream refers to the downward slope or gradient of the body of water.

Generally, the steepness of a body affects the rate at which other materials would flow or move around. Thus, the steeper a river or stream, the greater would be its rate of erosion.

Some of the characteristics of an erosion include the following;

1. An incised meander is a bend in a steep narrow bedrock valley. It avails a river large amount of vertical erosion power and as such enabling a downcut.

2. The lowest level to which a stream can erode is called a base level. Some examples are dam, waterfall, lake, stream, etc.

3. A terrace is the remnant of a former floodplain.

4. Examples of local base level include a stream or a lake.

5. A sweeping bend of a stream which is migrating laterally in a wide, flat valley is called a meander.

6. The flat, broad area surrounding a stream is referred to as a floodplain.

arsen [322]

Cultural convergence occurs more rapidly with improved transportation.

<h3>What is cultural convergence?</h3>

Cultural convergence is the phrase used to describe how civilizations tend to alter and adapt when they are frequently exposed to different cultures. Cultures will become more similar the more they interact with one another. Time and points of interaction are two major aspects that affect cultural convergence. Greater commonalities between cultures emerge from longer exposure times, of course. Increased contact rates, accessibility to communication and transportation, and membership in the same groups all speed up the rate of convergence. It will take longer for a civilization to absorb the traditions of another culture if they are just sometimes exposed to it through pop culture media than if they are exposed to their food, language, art, etc.
