Answer:

Politics and economic factors seldom play a role in where people settle

Resources availability influences where people settle

Explanation:

In order for a settlement to be formed, it has to provide certain basic living conditions so that the humans can live there. This brings in the question of availability of resources such as water, food, fertile soil, minerals, raw materials.

More often than not, these resources are found along the rivers, especially the larger ones, so it is no wonder that the majority of the settlements around the world are along the rivers.

The political and economic factors too play a very big role in the settlement patterns. If the political conditions are good, the population feels safe, and it has good condition for development, than the settlements will grow and prosper, but if its the opposite, the people will move out and the settlements will seize to exist. The economic factors are crucial, as they are the ones that provide conditions for prosper and development of the settlements. With good economic conditions, the settlements will grow, with bad ones, the settlements will lose population or even stop to exist.

Answer:

Explanation:

Civil twilight is a term, and we describe it as "the time after sunset and before sunrise ends or begins when the sun seems to be about 6 degrees underneath the horizon during which the light for normal outdoor occupations is adequate on clear days.

Nautical twilight is the second stage of twilight. By this time, both horizon and the brighter stars are easily visible, making navigation around sea possible.

Astronomical twilight occurs whenever the Sun is under the horizon between 12° and 18°

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

1 - 3 - 4 - 2

Explanation:

1 . A stream migrates laterally across its floodplain developing meanders. This stream terminates at a lake, which is its base level.

2. The base level of the stream is lowered by crustal uplift and the river begins to incise downward.

3.Incised meanders form.

4.A rincon forms by the cutoff of an incised meander, which shortens the river.

From its source high in the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado River channels water south nearly 1,500 miles, over falls, through deserts and canyons, to the lush wetlands of a vast delta in Mexico and into the Gulf of California. That is, it did so for six million years.
