13. An invasive species can be any kind of living organism—an amphibian (like the cane toad), plant, insect, fish, fungus, bacteria, or even an organism's seeds or eggs—that is not native to an ecosystem and causes harm. They can harm the environment, the economy, or even human health.
14. a high island or volcanic island is an island of volcanic origin. The term can be used to distinguish such islands from low islands, which are formed from sedimentation or the uplifting of coral reefs (which have often formed on sunken volcanos).
15. A low island is, in geology (and sometimes in archaeology), an island of coral origin. The term applies whether the island was formed as a result of sedimentation upon a coral reef or of the uplifting of such islands. The term is used to distinguish such islands from high islands, whose origins are volcanic.
Sorry I don’t know the other questions
The correct answer is - D. Stream velocity, channel width, and depth all increase.
When a stream is faced with a sudden increase of water, than the stream starts to increase its velocity. The velocity is becoming greater in the lower part of the stream. As the velocity increases, it is followed by an increase in width of the stream because it starts to flood the surrounding area, and also, because of the much increased amount of water in the stream, it increases its depth as well.
Answer:
Between 2000 and 2012, the Aral Sea has experienced less water income, increased salinity, significant loss of water, the formation of separate parts, and huge loss of biodiversity.
Explanation:
The Aral Sea, once one of the largest in the world, has experienced a tragic story since 2000. Once a great and vibrant lake, it came on the verge of drying out and dissapearing from the map. The reasons for this have been the smaller water income, loss of water, increased salinity, formation of smaller separated lakes, and loss of biodiversity.
Because of agriculture, namely, cotton farming, the water supply to the lake has been significantly lowered, leading to larger evaporation than water income. The lake started to lose its water rapidly, and by becoming shallower its temperature rose, so the evaporation became even larger, the salinity increased, and from one large lake, few smaller ones have formed because a large portion of it dried out. Because of all of the aforementioned things the biodiversity suffered badly.
Answer:
seafloor spreading
Explanation:
Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense. The less-dense material rises, often forming a mountain or elevated area of the seafloor.
