Answer:

North America is in the northern hemisphere

longitude - gives the East and West position of a point.

Latitude - give the north to south position of a point

Equator - it's a invisible line that goes around the earth, that has equal distance from the poles. It also divides the north and south hemispheres.

Hemisphere - the half of earths sphere, it's divided into four areas, north, south, east, and west. the invisible line crosses over all of them stretching to both poles.

Tropic of cancer - is the most northern latitude on earth, the sun can be seen overhead. it's 23.4 degrees north of the equator.

Tropic of Capricorn - is the most souther latitude on earth, you'll be able to see the sun directly over head. 23.4 degrees south of the equator.

Prime meridian - the invisible line that goes north to south at 0 degrees longitude. the prime meridian also separates the west and east hemisphere.

Greenwich - an area in London, England, that references the prime meridian line that passes through the town, the marked the area with a laser to imitate the line.

England international date line - an invisible line that goes from the north to south pole, i demonstrates the change of the calender day.

Arctic circle - the most southern latitude in the north hemisphere, the sun could be seen 24 hours a day.

Anarctic circle - is the most southern point of earth, parallel latitude and 66.5 degrees south of the equator

don't mind the spelling errors, I was typing fast.

URGENT PLEASE HELP

Answer:

They have reduced the river's force to almost nothing by the time it finally empties into the sea.

Explanation:

The Colorado River is one of the biggest rivers in North America. It runs mostly through the United States and little through Mexico where it ends its flow and empties into the sea. This river has been the subject of heavy exploitation by humans, and for that purpose, numerous dams have been built on it.

The number of dams is so high and the water is used at such a high rate that the river barely has any water as it empties into the sea. As this river runs mostly through arid and semi-arid areas that are also used for agriculture, its waters are heavily used for irrigation, leaving less and less water in the river as it gets closer to its endpoint. The dams are helping a lot in the economies of the states through which the Colorado River runs but the effect on the ecosystem of the river has been devastating.
