How does pollution effect the water cycle?

6 0

Water cycle is effected by pollution, whether it is water pollution or air pollution. Air is polluted by Suspended Particulate Matter and by different harmful gases like Sulphur dioxide etc. These gases react with water vapours in the sky, making the water in the clouds acidic. This acid falls as rain water causing acid rains. This acid falls in ponds, on land, in fields, causing harm to us and to the crops as well as to the fishes or creatures in water. When the water evaporates from ponds, rivers and oceans to make water vapour, the the water in these water bodies becomes more acidic, and again when acid rains occur, this acid again mixes with the water of the water bodies, which already has acid, causing the water to become more concentrated.

How do geographers explain the irregular course of the congo and niger rivers

tatiyna

The Congo and Niger rivers have interesting irregular courses, and instead of going just in a certain direction, they circle around big areas. This is due to the shape of the landscape, and also because of the types of rocks in the surrounding areas where these two rivers flow.

The shape of the landscape is crucial in the course of a river, since every river is moving through the lowest parts where there isn't obstacles, so these rivers have followed that pattern and it turned out to give them irregular course. Also, the types of rocks on their way are very important, so these rivers managed to get through the sediment rocks as they are easy to erode, but haven't been able to break through the igneous rocks that are much harder.
