Areas along the west coast of California cooler then you would expect for their latitude because a cold ocean current travels along the coast.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The west coat of California gets a cold current that is carried from the polar regions to this region. The cold currents make the air cooler and lower the temperature. This is why west coast of California is cooler when compared with the latitude and also colder than the east coast.

On the eastern coast, a warm current keeps the temperature warmer. The cold current brings very cold air because it flows from the polar regions and therefore keep the temperature low.

Which of the following is not a process of a stream load?
bija089 [108]
B) Materials in Solution is NOT a process of a stream load
Streams must start somewhere. Streams are formed by having sufficient water supply. The supply comes from rainfall and underground reservoirs. The area that initiates the stream supply is called the headwaters. Many times headwaters start in the high elevations. As the water moves down through the mountains, the stream’s pathway is formed. As streams evolve, the path of the stream starts to curve. The curving of a stream channel is known as a meander. As meanders develop, they become broader and larger. Eventually, there are enough material deposits to form a blockage of two meanders. This development causes the formation of an oxbow lake.
