If surface water does not flow into the oceans, then it will be collected into lakes or wetlands for instance in marshes and swamps. Also, Drainage basins collect surface water and direct it on it gravitationally.

If surface water doesn't flow to the ocean, it means land is flat, and if land is flat then more and more water will get absorbed by the soil and underground water level will increase, well, lakes etc will increase.

In an estuary, there is shallow, brackish water. What component of an estuary is this an example of?

4vir4ik [10]

The correct answer is - Habitat.

The shallow and brackish water in an estuary represents the habitat that the estuary is providing for the living organisms in it.

The reason why this is a description of the habitat of the estuary is that the description provides information about the living conditions in it. It tells us what kind of waters there, and the water is the basis for the existence of the marine life. By the description, it also can tell us what kind of a marine life can be expected to live there, as certain species are well adapted for this kind of habitat, while others are not.

On Earth, the Sun appears to move 15˝/hr across the sky.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

speed of apparent on moon = 0.50847° per Hour

speed of apparent movement on Jupiter= 36.36° per Hour

Explanation:

given data

Sun appears to move = 15˝/hr

to find out

How many degrees per hour would the Sun appear to move if we at equator of the Moon and How many degrees per hour would the Sun appear to move if we at the equator on Jupiter

solution

we know that sun is stable it not move but earth is revolving around that sun but it appear sun rise

so movement of sun in sky 360° every day

and time taken = 24 hours

so as we have given

speed of the apparent movement= $\frac{360}{24}$ °/Hour = 15 °/Hour
