<u>Answer:</u>

The main physical characteristic affecting North Africa and Southwest Asia's settlement patterns is water.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The northern part of the continent of Africa and the southwestern part of Asia are predominantly deserts characterized by scarcity of water.

These two regions of the world are counted among the driest on the planet.

Desertification due to rapid deforestation in the past caused these regions to turn into huge sandy deserts.

The countries in the southwest Asia are comparatively wealthy and have been implementing various techniques of desalination of seawater to tackle the scarcity of water in the region.

I would say that the main problem affecting North Africa and SW Asia would most likely be water or the scarcity of it assuming that North Africa would include places like the Sahara Desert and also the south of India which I believe is quite arid..

4. The north star also called the Polaris star seems to change its position for the southern hemisphere, but as for the northern hemisphere, it remains the same as being the north star the equatorial belt the star remains or shows the same side. Due to the rotation and axial tilt of the earth.

5. The cause of sunrise and sunset is mainly due to the sun and the earth's movement around the horizon in the opposite direction and there is 12 hours gap.

What is the difference between rivers and streams? Is stream faster than rivers? How much erosion is done by river and stream? D

Serhud [2]

Explanation:

<h2><em><u>If a stream has a steep slope or gradient, it will have a faster velocity, which means it will be able to carry larger materials in suspension. At flood stage, rivers flow much faster and do more erosion because the added water increases the stream's velocity.</u></em></h2>
