Answe:

Os paralelos possuem medidas específicas, chamadas de latitudes, que constituem a distância, em graus, de um dado paralelo em relação à Linha do Equador. Essa, por sua vez, possui latitude 0º.

Os meridianos são as linhas imaginárias dispostas verticalmente sobre o globo terrestre, formando semicírculos, ou seja, curvas que representam a metade de um círculo. Como todos os meridianos possuem o mesmo tamanho, não há diferenças técnicas entre um e outro, o que fez com que o meridiano principal fosse escolhido por meio de uma convenção realizada em Washington D.C. no final do século XIX. Nessa convenção, escolheu-se que a linha imaginária que atravessa a cidade de Londres, capital da Inglaterra e centro econômico da época, seria o meridiano principal, chamado de Meridiano de Greenwich, que é também o marco zero na medição dos fusos horários.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Delta

Explanation:

Delta is a geographical term that describes the formation of wetlands. It is formed from the slow movement of water and deposit from a river into a larger water body. For example lake, sea and ocean. A vivid example is a place where the River Nile moves at a slower pace into the Mediterranean Sea.

Hence, in this case, as a river reaches its mouth it is often affected by incoming tides resulting in a formation called a DELTA.
