Rivers are lifelines in many dry regions of Africa. They provide the necessary water for agriculture, household uses, transport, and biodiversity. They fill the wetlands of inland and coastal deltas with fresh water, thereby maintaining the inhabitant’s livelihoods and biodiversity of these dynamic areas

River deltas are found on the lower reaches of rivers, where the flow of water spreads out and slows down, depositing sediments into expanses of wetlands and shallow water. There are tow types of deltas: coastal deltas where the river meets the sea and inland deltas where the river fills extensive floodplains and marshes. One of the most famous African examples of an inland delta is the Inner Niger Delta in Mali.

The presence of glossopteris leaves and mesosaurus on disconnected continents are strong _______ evidence for continental drift.
almond37 [142]

Fossils.

Early in the 20th century, Alfred Wegener, primarily, established the continental drift theory. According to Wegener, continents are mobile on the surface of the Earth and were previously connected to form a single supercontinent. Scientists did not think that the continents could migrate when Wegener was alive.

In rocks that are the same age but on continents that are currently far apart, ancient fossils of the same species of extinct plants and animals can be found. Wegener claimed that the species had coexisted, but that once they died and become petrified, the lands had separated. According to his theory, the creatures couldn't have crossed the seas.

1. Glossopteris seed fern fossils were too heavy for the wind to carry them that far.

2. Mesosaurus was a reptile that could swim, although it could only do it in freshwater.

3. The terrestrial reptiles Cynognathus and Lystrosaurus were incapable of swimming.

Which statement about passive solar heating systems is true?
Aliun [14]

D. They do not produce electricity.

Passive solar heating is a technique where the sun's energy is used for heating spaces. It does not generate electricity but can save substantial electricity by making use of thermal mass. Materials that have a high density such as concrete and bricks absorb and store electricity. Along with operable windows and thermal chimneys,  thermal mass is being utilized to take advantage of sun exposure.
