The barrier islands protect the mainland from: (Georgia btw)

Geography
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]1 year ago
6 0

The barrier islands shelter and protect the mainland from the powerful forces of wind, waves, tides, currents and the ravages of storms and hurricanes. They shelter the estuaries that form behind the barriers.

Barrier islands form as waves repeatedly deposit sediment parallel to the shoreline. As wind and waves shift in keeping with weather styles and neighborhood geographic features, those islands constantly pass, erode, and grow. They can even disappear entirely.

Key Biscayne is a barrier island found at the bottom give up of a sequence of islands that stretches alongside the southeastern coast of Florida. Barrier islands are construct-united states of sand that shape alongside the coast of larger land bodies.

Barrier islands are critically crucial in mitigating ocean swells and different hurricane events for the water systems at the mainland aspect of the barrier island, in addition to defensive the coastline. This efficaciously creates a unique environment of exceedingly low strength, brackish water.

Which statement BEST describes a case in which push factors contributed to migration?
icang [17]

The correct answer is - D) Jewish immigrants in Poland who fled to the United States to escape religious persecution and seek safety and new opportunities.

The push factors are the factors that make the people move away from one place to another. They are negative factors, and can be economical, political, because of safety reasons etc.

The Jews that fled Poland in order to feel safe and get new opportunities in life in the United States, based on the religious and ethnic persecution, is a nice example of a push factor. In this case we have a push factor motivated on religious and ethnic hatred, which of course will make the people of the persecuted group feel unsafe, threatened, so they will try to move away if possible because their lives are in danger.

physically breaks rocks into smaller pieces. __________ changes the surface of rocks into new substances
Neko [114]

Answer:

mechanical weathering

Explanation:

As a definition, mechanical weathering is the disintegration and decomposition of rocks on or on the earth's surface produced by different atmospheric, climatic and biological agents.

Weathering is a permanent process in nature.

It is also defined as a static process by which the rock breaks into small fragments, dissolving and decomposing to form new minerals. This is the way in which the removal and transport of detritus then results in erosion. It follows that weathering, by reducing the consistency of the stone masses leads to the erosion process.

The causative agents of the weathering of the stones, (external geological agents) can be physical (mechanical), chemical and biological.

Maurya India characteristics
SpyIntel [72]

Explanation:

Mauryan empire, in ancient India, a state centred at Pataliputra (later Patna) near the junction of the Son and Ganges (Ganga) rivers. It lasted from about 321 to 185 BCE and was the first empire to encompass most of the Indian subcontinent.

Gupta Empire of Chandragupta II

After gaining power, Chandragupta II expanded the Gupta Empire through conquest and political marriages until the end of his reign in 413 CE. By 395 CE, his control over India extended coast-to-coast. Just like Ashoka, Chandragupta II made Pataliputra the capital of his empire and centralized the government there. He used tribute money from allies to fund government projects and salaries. Unlike Ashoka, Chandragupta did not rely on a network of spies or closely monitor the affairs of foreigners or allies. Instead, he let regions make their own decisions about administration and local governance.

Some scholars have argued that the Gupta empire was a golden age of India. The empire was marked by peace and public safety, and scholars flourished in this environment. Kalidasa, a poet of the time, is considered the greatest poet and dramatist of the Sanskrit language. Aryabhata, who lived during Gupta empire, was the first of the Indian mathematician-astronomers who worked on the approximation for Pi. Vishnu Sharma is thought to be the author of the Panchatantra fables, one of the most widely-translated non-religious books in history.

The Gupta empire ended with the invasion of the White Huns, a nomadic tribe of people from central Asia, at the end of the fifth century CE. Until the sixteenth century, there was no unifying empire; regional political kingdoms ruled India.

What kind of criticism is a poorly delivered criticism that can be harmful and malicious
inn [45]
With some types of criticism, it is intended as help or advise, and with others it’s intended to make someone else look or feel bad.

Example: Billy was attempting a handstand on a ladder. Suzy told him it was a bad idea, and that he should get down. This is an example of helpful criticism, because Suzy did not want Billy to get hurt.

Suzy bought a new sweater. Billy told her it was ugly and he would never be seen in public wearing it. This is poorly delivered criticism because it sounded cruel. Billy might have been trying to give helpful advice, but it sounded mean.
