Answer:
Rivers transport particles, from fine ones such as silt in turbid water to coarser ones such as sand, gravel, and boulders associated with bed-load transport. The speed and turbulence of currents enable transportation of these materials. When riverbed gradient or the river flow diminishes, particles tend to drop out.
Explanation:
1. the answer is A. temperature only
2. the answer is D. cooler, and saltier
Fresh water and salt water together cover 3/4 of the earth's surface.
The false statement is - B. This map projection does not distort shapes.
The map shown on the image is a Mollweide projection map. This is a map that has an elliptical shape, unlike most of the maps that have a rectangular shape. It is a map that pretty accurately manages to depict the Earth's continents with their right sizes.
Unfortunately, it can not be said that the map is without flaws. It is a map that has distortions, as all the others do, but it is still a map where the distortions are very small, thus the depiction is much accurate than on most of the other map projections.
