Answer: A)is greater near the source than near the mouth

Explanation: A stream is a small river; a large creek; a body of moving water confined by banks.

Gradient is an area of ground that tends evenly upward or downward.

A stream gradient can be defined as an area of water that that tends evenly upward or downward of the stream and it is measured by the difference in elevation between two points on a stream divided by the distance between the two points that the water actually flows.

The gradient influences the speed in respect to time of the stream. The steeper the gradient, the higher will be the speed of the of the flow.

Which of the following statements is true?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

C. There is more usable freshwater below the earth's surface than there is above it.

Explanation:

A. Most of earth's freshwater is found in lakes and rivers.

Although lakes and river are one of the surface water that house the highest percentage of fresh water (about 0.3%) but most of the earths fresh water are not found in lakes and rivers but are found in ground water and ice caps and glaciers. This statement is definitely not true.

B. Almost half of the water in the U.S. is used for mining and industry.

According to USGS(US geological survey) most water usage in the US is for thermoelectric power and irrigation followed by public supply before the use for mining and industry comes in. The statement is wrong to say almost half of the water in the US is used for mining and industry.

C. There is more usable freshwater below the earth's surface than there is above it.

Fresh water in ground water constitute about 30.1 % fresh water found in the earth. In fact some of the fresh water found on surface water bodies like rivers migrated from ground water. Groundwater is the largest reservoir of usable fresh water. The statement is correct and it is true.

D. Water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves in most other liquids.

Water is regarded as a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid not because it dissolve in most other liquids.

¿Por qué los países pobres muchas veces protestan contra la liberación del comercio internacional?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Generalmente, los países pobres tienen monedas muy devaluadas frente a las monedas de referencia, como lo son el dólar o el euro. Por lo tanto, los costos de producción propia de estos países se encarece, pues necesitan de grandes cantidades de su moneda para poder abastecerse de los insumos necesarios para producir los bienes que necesitan para destinarlos al comercio exterior.

En cambio, los países con economías grandes y estables poseen monedas competitivas, con lo cual sus costos de producción suelen ser menores, es decir, representan un esfuerzo menor que el de los países pobres.

Por lo tanto, en caso de una apertura comercial, como un tratado de libre comercio que suprima los aranceles a las importaciones y exportaciones, los productos de los países más ricos (que son más baratos de producir y por ende más baratos en su precio final) serían absolutamente dominantes sobre los productos de los países pobres, que carecerían de competitividad en razón de precios.

Un claro ejemplo se da respecto de China, cuya producción en serie de productos tecnológicos inunda los mercados mundiales, quitándole posibilidades de competitividad a países con menos desarrollo industrial.

Para evitar esta situación, muchos países y bloques comerciales imponen aranceles para equiparar precios entre estos países y los países más competitivos.

Regional Geography lays emphasis on the
Anika [276]

Answer:

We can use the example of the Greater Accra region, one of the new regions of Ghana.

Explanation:

The Greater Accra region consists essentially of the city of Accra, and its immediate sorroundings, and has over 4 million people.

As the most populated region in the country, its regional economy is the most important for Ghana. It is where a great part of the country's industrial and service sectors are located. The reason for this is geographical: people living close to each other in cities tend to form closer economic ties that increase efficiency and productivity.
