Answer:
A. the banks of the Nile River
Explanation:
Egypt is a country in the region of Northern Africa, more specifically located in the northeastern part of it. The country is dominated by desert, the Sahara desert, and it has one body of water in it, the Nile River.
The Nile River has been crucial for the existence of the people in Egypt for thousands of years, and it continues to be in the present as well. The river provides freshwater for drinking, for usage at homes, for the industry, irrigation, and it is also used for fishing, traveling, and transportation.
Considering that the banks of the Nile River are the only place in Egypt that provide conditions for permanent settling, it is no wonder that the majority of Egypt's population lives on the banks of the river, especially in the northern part of the country.
This statement is incorrect because igneous rocks can melt, and be exposed to heat and pressure, which would change the igneous rock into one of the other two forms of rock excluding the sedimentary rock type.
I visited a small beach in Long Island once, a garden variety one except less crowded and with pebbles in the sand. The beach was half a mile long, occupied by maybe two hundred people. Most were sunbathers but there were also many families with kids playing in the sand. One particuar family of 6 had a giant tent. We were there at 4PM so the sun shone less power UV rays, fortunate for us, unfortunate for the sunbathers. I decided grab the proper tools and construct a mini sand fortress that could withstand the waves. After several failed attempts I finally made a fortress large enough and built quick enough to be built before a big wave destroyed it. Fortress is an exaggeration, it was just several reinforced walls made with an ideal sand to water ratio. Some young children were watching my "fortess" in awe, made sense because their little sand castles paled in comparison to my design. I would bet you a hundred dollars that one of them took over my wavebreaker after I left, it's a practice commonly used on beaches. Once at a crowded beach I made a absolutley MAMMOTH series of walls and pits, after withstanding waves became too easy I built a castle behind it. It took 4 hours total. A few others started copying me so I spoke to a kid building a rather large castle near mine so we agreed to construct a wall or two connecting the two complexes. Then I had to leave so I gave it to him.
By weakening and fracturing rock, weathering processes release nutrients and improve subsurface permeability. It is helpful to limit the physical attributes of materials produced by weathering inside the crucial zone in order to better understand these processes.
The permeability, strength, and seismic anisotropy of foliated rocks can be measured geophysically, whereas the first two have effects on hydrology and geomorphology. Characterizing weathering-dependent changes in rock fabric with depth may have a variety of implications because each of these types of anisotropy is connected to rock fabric.
The key points are:
- In the critical zone, seismic surveys of weathered material reveal seismic anisotropy magnitudes that can reach 36% and that change with depth.
- The strike of foliation and fracture planes found in bedrock coincides with the fast direction of wave propagation in weathered materials.
- As bedrock is exhumed toward the surface, in-situ weathering processes probably intensify the anisotropy already existing in the rock.
