Answer:

Figure given below.

Explanation:

  • The westerlies are the prevailing winds that blow from the west to east in middle latitude between the 30 to 60 degrees.
  • These are found from the high pressure areas of the horse latitude towards to poles and sheer extra tropical cyclones.
  • Westerlie are strongest in the winter hemisphere, and at time when the pressure is lower over the poles, while its weakest in summers, there impact on the ocean currents when moving from west to east the western ocean current transports warm tropical water to the poles.

Alenkasestr [34]

The generalized channel path A seen in the stream capture folder most likely represents the previous outlet channel of the Murray river.

The Murray River is a river in southeastern Australia. At 2,508 km long, it is Australia's longest river. Its tributaries include five of the six longest rivers in Australia.

Most of the rivers in the basin begin in the Great Dividing Range. This is a range of mountains on the east coast of Australia that stretches from northern Queensland through New South Wales to Victoria. The basin ends in South Australia where the Murray River meets the Southern Ocean.

A group or a chain of islands, Example: greater and lesser Antilles
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

A group or a chain of islands is called archipelago.

Explanation:

The seas and oceans are not just open spaces of water with nothing interrupting them, instead they have hundreds of thousands or even millions of islands rising from them. The islands vary in size, and what can be considered as an island is still debatable, but they can be anywhere from few tens of meters to hunderds of thousands of square km.

The chains or groups of islands are called archipelago. In order to distinguish them from one another they have to have some similraties and most often they need to have the same geological history and processes that created them. An archipelago can be formed in multiple ways. Along the subduction zones there are always archipelagoes, and this is due to the volcanic activity. Another creator of archipelagoes are the hot spots because they are static but the plates move on top of them, thus draging the islands from the hot spot and new rising above it. Also, if the characteristics of the topography of an area are such that when the sea levels rise, there can be a formation of an archipelago where the lower areas will be under water while the higher places would remain above water.
