What is a delta in geography?

1 answer:

7 0

A river delta<span> is a landform that forms from deposition of sediment carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or standing water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot transport away the supplied sediment.

A. Describe the roles of mechanical and chemical weathering in the formation of the sediments that are eventually incorporated i

Serhud [2]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks that are formed due to the accumulation of sediments that are derived from the deposition of small particles and their cementation of minerals and organic particles in the seafloor by the impact of various geological and earth processes like the wind, water, and glacier erosion.

Earth's crust is covered by 73% of sedimentary rocks and about 8% of the total crustal surface. Based on their formation, these rocks are thus classified as Siliciclastic, Carbonate, Evaporite, Iron-rich, and Phosphatic sedimentary rocks.

The color of these rocks is always determined by the iron and oxide contents, their size texture is a result of the density and permeability of the rocks like in the case of sandstone and limestone.

The relationship between the plate tectonics and the earthquakes is explained through the seismic waves that travel; through the three-layer of the earth from core to mantle to crust.

Earthquakes are directly related to plate boundaries as these are areas where these waves come out in the form of shocks and shaking of lands thus we expect of seeing three types of boundaries as Convergent, Divergent and Transform.

State four measures that can be<br>taken to control soil erosion.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

1. Native flora/plants. This is because native plants are best suited to live in the type of environment that they exist in, and its roots are used to stabilise soil erosion from water

2. Use terracing in farming, as the long slope is shorted into smaller groups of shot flatter slopes, reducing soil erosion

3. Planting cover crops, which are crops that grow horizontally, which form essentially a large cover over the soil, which prevents wind from blowing soil away

4. Strategically placed rocks or boulders can change the way water flows, which reduces the amount of soil erosion as it diverts the water to another direction.
