Answer:

oxbow lake

Explanation:

The meander usually originates in the rivers located in the alluvial plains that have almost no slopes due to the sediments of the earth that commonly settle in the convex areas of the meander. However, in the concave areas, thanks to the operation of forces of centrifugal characteristics, greater erosion is generated and the banks are diminished.

If the natural action of the erosion of water and sediments causes two curvilinear channels to be found between them, the river will react through the area where the currents exert opposition and in this way it will originate a horseshoe lake or oxtail (in English usually called <u>oxbow lake</u>) because the sediments will block the entry of water and the exit of the previous meander, which will cause it to be outside the river path.

xeze [42]

The correct answer is - C. The river carried enormous amounts of silt.

The Yellow River, got this nickname because it is yellowish from the enormous amounts of silt it carries. When there were heavy rains, or the snow was melting, the river got more water, but also more silt, so the silt was partially blocking the free movement of all of the water, so it was flooding the surrounding are. In one way, the floods were terrible because they were destroying pretty much everything on their way, but on the other side, were living huge amounts of deposits that were fertilizing the soil for the agriculture.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: A.Santa Ana

Explanation:

This description perfectly agrees with the Santa Ana Winds (also called Santana Winds), which are due to a meteorological phenomenon that occurs between southern California and northern Baja California during autum and early winter (although they can also occur in the other seasons of the year). In this sense, strong winds are caused by high air pressure circulating clockwise at high altitudes in the Great Basin between Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains (and the Mojave Desert).

It should be noted that these winds are characteristic of the region, which dry the vegetation, knock down electric utility poles and trees, and sometimes transport hot embers, being the main cause of fire spread.
