Answer: The potential energy in the system is greatest at X

Explanation: Potential energy is how much energy an object can have. Gravity has an effect on potential energy, the higher something is, the more potential energy it has. For example, if you hold a book above your head, that book has potential energy. When you drop the book, it has kinetic energy. Therefore, since point X is the highest point, the ball has the greatest potential energy there.

That's because of the presence of porous rocks that let water pass through them and reach an underground cavern that then acts as a tank.

2. delta

That's common especially in larger rivers that meet their destination point (usually the ocean).

3. oasis  

a small fertile area in the desert, usually a place where water is close to the surface (plural - oases)  

We all heard about oases in the desert, where human and animals alike gather to drink.

4. rain shadow

The Sahel, or southern margin of the Sahara desert, is prone to what environmental hazard?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: Is prone to desertification or drought.

Explanation: The Sahel region is located in Africa between the Sahara to the north and the Sudanian Savanna to the south.

The Sahel has a semi arid climate which is characterized by precipitation below potential evapotranspiration.

What this means is that the amount of water that would be evaporated and transpired by a specific crop or ecosystem is low. This region is prone to desertification or drought because of the low amount of water evaporated and transpirated in the region.
