In a region of a continent that has not experienced significant uplift in 200 million years, a geologist would expect rivers to

devlian [24]

In a location of a continent that has not undergone important upthrust in 200 million years, a geologist would anticipate rivers to be characterised by Broad floodplains and travelling consecutive course.

<h3>Who is geologist?</h3>

Geologist is a person that study the solid, liquid, and gaseous stuff that makes up Earth and other terrestrial planets, as well as the processes that shape them.

When there is upliftment, the stream or river has a steep gradient and forms a V-shaped valley, which is impossible to do in level ground.

Because it's a flat location, there's less weathering, so the chances of a natural leve forming are slim, and the third possibility, a rapid, which is a minor waterfall that originates in a highland area, is also out.

Therefore, there is no impediment to vary its path and constantly follow a straight path, a vast flood plain with a straight course is achievable in a flat location.

Using complete sentences, describe what present-day Canada and the United States looked like just prior to conta between Europea

Leona [35]

Answer:

Canada and the US, prior to the contact between Europeans and Native Americans, were home to numerous civilizations, a huge number of settlements, an agricultural landscape, and a lot of different cultures.

Explanation:

Present-day Canada and the United States, prior to the contact between the Europeans and Native Americans were very different places. The Native Americans were in very large numbers, though much more in the US and less in Canada. There were a lot of thriving civilizations across the continent, and the different groups of people had different lifestyles.

Across North America, there were thousands of settlements, some of which were cities or villages, while some were temporary dwellings. Unlike the common belief, the Native Americans, at least the ones that had a settled lifestyle, were on a relatively similar level of development as the Europeans, and they exploited the continent a lot. The landscape was changing from one place to another because of the type of human activity that was dominant, and what is now the US especially, was much less forested because of agricultural activities than what the Europeans saw after they started to move westward sometime after their initial arrival.
