The correct answer is - A. reduce the amount of sediment deposited on floodplains and increase the amount of sediment deposited at the river's mouth.

The Mississippi River is one of the biggest rivers in the world. It is also a river that carries with it very large amount of sediments. The levees built along side it though do not allow the natural process of deposition of sediments on the floodplains of the river. That results in the river carrying the sediments down to the river mouth. Because of this, the river mouth is becoming an ever-growing delta because of the constant deposition of very large amounts of sediments. This also causes lot of the sediments to end in the coastal parts of the sea, which makes the sea waters shallower and murkier, as well as creating new land forms alongside the coast from the deposited material.

De que maneira a mundialização está inserida no processo de globalização?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

A mundialização é o processo pelo qual uma situação ou característica específica de uma determinada região geográfica se torna conhecida, analisada e interpretada em nível global, para que todos tenham conhecimento e a analisem e a considerem de acordo com sua própria cultura e idiossincrasia.

Um exemplo claro de mundialização é a integração de elementos culturais americanos nas culturas de outras nações, como conseqüência da expansão cultural dos EUA por Hollywood, por exemplo, na incorporação da palavra "Ok" como significado de "tudo bom" na grande maioria das línguas do mundo.

Esse processo é favorecido pela globalização, entendida como o processo de interconexão comunicacional e tecnológica que permite a transmissão de grandes quantidades de informações entre os países do mundo.

Impact of line thunderstorms on farming in the interior of SA
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Hi. You did not say whether "SA" was referring to South Africa or South America, which prevents your question from being answered. However, we can consider that line thunderstorms have very negative impacts on agriculture in any region, as they present very violent storms that can destroy crops and damage the land.

Explanation:

Line thunderstorms are formed by instability lines of storm clouds, which create a constant storm lasting many hours, as the clouds continue to form in a constant manner and all have a large amount of water for precipitation.

This type of storm is accompanied by very strong winds and even small tornadoes. This can be very harmful to agriculture, as it floods the farmland and strong winds cause the crops to fall over, or be completely uprooted.

In other words, line thunderstorms can destroy crops and harm farmers.
