A floodplain (or flood plain) is land area located next to a stream or river that reaches to the bottom channels enveloping the walls of valleys and often floods when there is too much water. This is the reason why flood plains are made up of sediments: sand, gravel, loam, silt, etc.

What causes the cyclical changes in the appearance of the moon?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

The changes in the phases of the Moon are caused by its position towards the Sun, not as it is commonly thought that it is because of the Earth's shadow on it.

What we see from the Moon, the bright part and the almost invisible dark part (looking with bear eyes of course), is only dependent on how the Moon is positioned towards the Sun. The part that is bright is the part that faces the Sun, while the part that is dark is the part that is on the opposite side, thus not facing the Sun.

Depending on the Moon's position towards the Earth as well, we can sometimes see it as partially bright, as half bright, full bright, and everything in between, and that depends on how the Moon is positioned towards the Earth.

The correct answer is - False.

The Gobi Desert is a vast desert. It occupies part of northern China and the southern part of Mongolia. This desert is the the northernmost desert on the planet. It is part of the cold desert types, and it experiences both summer and winter. The summers are dry and hot, with temperatures around 35 C degrees, while the winters are very cold and dry, with temperatures of even 40 C degrees bellow zero.

Unlike the stereotypical desert, this desert is not covered with sands and sand dunes, but instead it is a rocky desert, covered with rocks of all sizes and shapes.
