Answer: a. Dendritic

Explanation:

A dendritic drainage pattern is the most common form and looks like the roots of trees branching pattern. It is a drainage pattern in which streams branch in many directions randomly at different angles as well. It develops in regions that have underlying homogeneous material. This means the subsurface geology has a similar resistance to weathering resulting in no seeming control over the direction the tributaries take. It is produce in streams that receive several tributaries that are fed by smaller ones. Tributaries link up a larger stream at acute angle ( angle less than 90 degrees). It can be indicated when streams flow across horizontally and complex crystalline rock/homogeneous strata help in resisting erosion uniformly.

Why is Spanish the official language of 9 of the 13 nations of south America?
xxTIMURxx [149]

The correct answer is - The Spanish established their language when they colonized the territories.

During the period of the great discoveries the Spanish managed to occupy most of what is now South America. They implemented their language, culture, and laws, very often with using force and violence because lots of the native people were not willing to give up on their own culture, language, and way of life. The Spanish managed to prevail, and ruled for long enough that the Spanish language becomes the dominant language in nine South American countries.
