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.

Did the exploration of the Spanish, French, and Americans have a positive or negative impact on the Native Americans way of life

topjm [15]

This particular question has two answers depending on who is asking and who is giving the response, the aftermath of the exploration of the new world as a result of the exploration of the Spanish, French, and Britians which later gives ways to the Americans has been in contentions of its effects on the Native Americans. However, it has been majorly agreed by many that the exploration of these nations has far fetch negative effect on the well being and developmental of the Native Americans way of life due to the introduction of different vices in dealing with the natives which benefitted these nations more than Native Americans because of their desire to rob the native of their wealth to stimulate their economy; some basic effects of explorations to North America were the introduction of new deadly diseases such as smallpox, influenza, measles, and chickenpox etc to native America population which almost eradicate their population by claiming the lives of the indigenous people. The mistreatment of the natives by enforcing harsh labor on them,

It should be noted that as a result of the contact with the Native American, they taught them how to read, write, open up a trade route with other tribes which benefited both parties, livestock and other animals were exchanged also leading to bringing new crops etc

ryzh [129]

The first thing to say is that there are two geographical features with the same name: the Rocky Mountain System and the Rocky Mountains (s.s.) that are part of it.The complete orographic system is something like a very varied sample of geological and tectonic processes.The system extends for more than 2982 miles, from Canada to the southern United States, (state of New Mexico). Its transverse extension varies between 68 and 300 miles, with the eastern edge being very close to Denver, and constituting a prominent feature within the central plains of the continent.The far west is not far from Salt Lake City, Utah, and is separated from the Sierra Nevada, Cascade, and Coastal chains-farther west-by the Great Basin and the Columbia River Plateau.The Rocky Mountains end before entering Alaska, not the System that contains them, which is also known to include the highest peaks in North America. In the United States, the highest height is recorded at Mount Elbert in Colorado, showing 4,401 m.s.n.m.Also in the Rocky Mountains is the watershed of the continent, which obviously separates the basins that drain towards the Pacific from those that drain towards the Atlantic.

Science notebook activity in this exploration, you will identify the prevailing winds and ocean currents that exist on earth, as

Serggg [28]

The Earth is known to have five prevailing wind zones. They are:

Polar easterlies is known to flow from polar high-pressure belt in the direction of the temperate low-pressure belts and it is said to blow from the east.
Westerlies moves from from the west toward the east.
Horse latitudes, found in the north and south and moves or flow toward the prevailing westerlies or equator.
Trade winds flows mainly from east to west that is north and south of the equator.
The doldrums starts at low pressure or weak pressure gradients, and moves in the direction of the trade wind of North and south.

Some of the examples of ocean Currents in the world are:

North Equatorial Current is known to be a westward wind-driven current
Kuroshio Current is known as north-flowing and also a warm ocean current .
North Pacific Current is known to flow from west-to-east .
Alaskan Current has its current flowing counterclockwise.
Counter Equatorial Current is known as an eastward flowing and also a wind-driven current
South Equatorial Current is known to flow from east-to-west. etc.

<h3>What is the link between wind and ocean currents?</h3>

The winds is known to be a weather condition that carries surface water with them which therefore forms currents.

Note that as these currents are said to flow westward, the Coriolis effect which is a force that emanates from the rotation of the Earth is said to lower their intensity which can make the currents to bend to the right, facing the north.
