Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

A river flows from a region of higher elevation to a region of lower elevation and is structurally controlled. As it flows towards the sea or ocean body, the strength of the river decreases and carries a lesser amount of sediments along with it. These sediments are sometimes deposited in a large amount in such a way that the sea waves cannot erode, thereby resulting in the formation of layers of sediments, which are commonly known as delta. A delta is considered to be the mouth of the river.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Historically, _____.
oee [108]

The correct answer is - 2. Earth's climates have changed and are likely to change in the future.

From what is known for the geologic past of the Earth, our planet's climate has been changing numerous times. The climate on the planet has varied from being predominantly wet tropical climate, to having ice ages, having multiple different climate types at the same time... The reasons for the changes in the Earth's climate are numerous, with the Sun's radiation, tectonic movements and activities, volcanic activity, outside influences like asteroid and meteorite collisions, the vegetation, and all of them have managed to create a very colorful climate history of the planet. This trend of climate change should continue in the future as well, as all of the aforementioned factors are still influencing the climate and on top of that the humans have become a factor in the climate change too.

Why are winter days colder than summer days? The sun is up for less time in the winter. The sun is farther away in the winter. T
Alex17521 [72]

Many people believe that the temperature becomes lower in winters and higher in summers because the Earth is closer to the sun in summer and farther from the sun in winter. In fact, the Earth is farthest from the sun in July and is closest to the sun in January. The main reason behind these temperature changes in different seasons is because the earth's axis is tilted. It is all about the tilt of the Earth's axis.
