The correct option is a. natural lake that is dry for long periods of time.

<h3>What is playa?</h3>

Playas are flat-bottomed depressions that are sometimes surrounded by water which it slowly seeps into the groundwater system or vaporizes into the atmosphere. As a result, salt, sand, and mud are deposited along the depression's bottom and around its edges.

Some key feature of playa are-

  • Playas are also known as pans, flats, or dry lakes.
  • They are typically found in inner desert watersheds and close to coasts in arid and semi-arid regions.
  • The flattest recorded landforms are playas. Typically, their gradients are less than 0.2 meters per kilometer.
  • Many kilometers of surface may be submerged when only a few centimeters of water are added.
  • The nearly flawless flatness that is so distinctive of these dry region landforms is developed and maintained by the process of flooding.
  • The middle, level basins of arid plains are called playas. They need drainage from the inside to a place where evaporation far outweighs intake.
  • A playa lake arises when the area is inundated, concentrating salts and fine-grained debris.
  • Playa terminology is somewhat confusing due to the abundance of regional names.

How far apart are the parallel lines?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

69 miles/111 kilometers

Explanation:

The parallel lines, are lines that are parallel, as the name suggests. They at positioned north and south from the Equator, and they make east to west concentric circles around the planet.

These lines are imaginary, thus creating by humans, and the main purpose for it has been the measuring of latitude and measuring of exact location (in combination with the meridians).

These lines are approximately 69 miles, or 111 kilometers apart. Now this is a rough average, as there are slight differences because of the elliptical shape of Earth, but the differences are very small. The distance tends to be slightly less than the average on the lower latitudes, and slightly more on the high latitudes.
