<span>When river water is no longer flowing downhill, the water slows down. This makes sediment drop to the bottom. Sediment deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake builds up and a landform called a delta is formed.</span>

A delta doesn't always form near an ocean, but yes, it often does. It forms from deposition of sediment. Sediment is the process of wearing or erosion of a natural object. The water slows down as it nears the ocean.

Can someone help me? The question is State two scenarios that demonstrate the process diffusion​
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

One could be in the cell. The cell respires, thus producing carbon dioxide in it. So the concentration builds up in the cell. Diffusion is the net movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, and the carbon dioxide concentration outside the cell is less, therefore the carbon dioxide molecules moves outs of the cell.

Another scenario is when perfume is sprayed into the air. The perfume particles collides with the air particles (lower or no concentration of perfume). This process goes on and on. This is diffusion since the concentration perfume particles collides with the less concentrated particles of perfume.

Describe how a plant obtains water.
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Plants obtain water through their roots. ... The water passes through the membranes of plant cells and also fills the spaces in between the cells. Because the cells absorb the water directly, the soil must be in contact with the roots in order for the roots to absorb the water.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The ability of body systems to increase their function, given the need to adapt, is known as the <u>physiologic reserve.</u>

Explanation:

The ability of body systems to increase their function if the need to adapt arises is known as a physiological reserve. Frequently, this term is used to refer to the operating limits of a particular physiological system when under stress. When this stress exceeds the ability of a particular organ or system to compensate for it, organ failure occurs. Adaptation achieves its highest efficiency when changes are generated gradually/progressively rather than abruptly. In aging, this reserve is diminished and therefore the ability of the organs to adapt to stress is lower, that is, the ability to adapt is reduced in extreme ages.
