Geography

Answer:

i. by water seeping through the ocean floor and welling up into the lake

Explanation:

Oceans the lowest unit of deposition of all continental materials. It is also known that all the water on land drains into the oceans. Oceans receives large volume of fresh water because they are down the gradient and base level of the continent.

It is near impossible for water from oceans to flow landward.

Lake Okeechobee in Florida will empty into the ocean at the Gulf of Mexico. For an exchange of water to occur between these two bodies of water, we must consider infiltration through the ocean floor into the land. Water can seep into pore spaces in form of salt water intrusion which can be carried into the lake body. This is the most reasonable way water from the Gulf of Mexico can move into the lake.

Which geologic unit is found along the Sacramento River?
guajiro [1.7K]

Sacramento River geologic unit details are described below.

Explanation:

1.The Sacramento River is the main river of Northern California in the United States, and is the largest river in California. Rising in the Klamath Mountains, the river flows south for 400 miles (640 km) before reaching the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta and San Francisco Bay.

2.Sacramento River, river is rising in the Klamath Mountains, near Mount Shasta (in Siskiyou county), northern California, U.S. The river flows 382 miles (615 km) south-southwest between the Cascade and Sierra Nevada ranges, through the northern section (Sacramento Valley) of the Central Valley.

3.This river forms a common delta with the San Joaquin River before entering Suisun Bay, the northern arm of San Francisco Bay. Its principal tributaries are the Pit, McCloud, Feather, and American rivers. Total drainage area is about 27,100 square miles (70,200 square km); average annual runoff is 22 million acre-feet (27 billion cubic metres).

4. Shasta, Keswick, and Oroville dams are key features of the Central Valley and Feather River irrigation and power projects, which serve southern portions of the state. California’s largest river, the Sacramento is navigable for 256 miles (412 km) and accommodates oceangoing vessels as far as the city of Sacramento.The name Sacramento was originally given to the Feather River by Gabriel Moraga in 1808; it was later applied to the main channel (originally called Rio de San Francisco). Scene of the Gold Rush of 1849, the river flows through one of the world’s richest agricultural regions. The river harbours hundreds of species of fish, and the Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge, in several units, protects several ecosystems.

How does coral ecosystem suffering from physical damage affect the ecosystem?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Aquatic animals and organisms thrive in coral reef habitats/ecosystems. The biodiversity of different organisms (like fish) are abundant because of the habitats (like anemone), algae, and phytoplankton that live off the area. The destruction of the coral reef by polution can cause a disturbance in the balance of life. For example, the bacteria and algae (autotrophs) that live off the sides of pieces of coral would die off causing the fish and other things that way them to die off and then the fish that consume those animals would die off.

In shorter terms: the physical damage would throw off the balance of the food web/food chain and would destroy habitats of thousands of organisms causing them to die off.

Hope this helps! :D
