The Contiguous United States does not include Alaska, Hawaii, or any other territories under the control of the United States. Alaska is unique among the US states as it is part of the North American continent, meaning it is attached via Canada, and so is part of the "Continental United States".
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Below
Explanation:
An understanding of the structure of the Earth is important for many reasons
1. It can help us understand things that happen on the surface, like the magnetic field. The structure of the Earth explains that.
2. Things like tectonic plates severely affect the planet, such as the creation of many natural disasters. Understanding them helps us better prepare and anticipate them.
3. Understanding the structure of the Earth can help us identify the location of important natural resources (like different metals)
4. In the production of things like geothermal energy we need to understand the Earth's structure to know where we will get the most heat

Answer:
oxbow lake
Explanation:
The meander usually originates in the rivers located in the alluvial plains that have almost no slopes due to the sediments of the earth that commonly settle in the convex areas of the meander. However, in the concave areas, thanks to the operation of forces of centrifugal characteristics, greater erosion is generated and the banks are diminished.
If the natural action of the erosion of water and sediments causes two curvilinear channels to be found between them, the river will react through the area where the currents exert opposition and in this way it will originate a horseshoe lake or oxtail (in English usually called <u>oxbow lake</u>) because the sediments will block the entry of water and the exit of the previous meander, which will cause it to be outside the river path.
