The correct answer is - lagoon.

When rivers and streams that have lower water volume throughout the whole year come in touch with the ocean, under the influence of the ocean's wave and ocean currents along the coast, sandbars and barrier islands start to form around the estuary. As they form and little by little grow in size, they manage to create a closed space with calm shallow water between the estuary itself and the ocean, thus creating a lagoon.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The day moon is a product of the sunlight reflected on the satellite. Sometimes, we can see the moon during the daytime, because depending on the moon´s position, sunlight is reflected on the satellite, allowing us to see from the Earth during the day.

Explanation:

The moon is a dull satellite that has no light by itself. The only way we can see it is through the reflection of the sunlight on this body. This effect also depends on the moon´s position concerning the Earth and to the sun. It is a natural product of the rotation and translation movement of the Earth and the moon.

This effect is related to the moon phases: new, first quarter, full and third quarter. During the daytime, we can see the waxing and waning gibbous phases because the moon is placed in a way that sunlight reaches it and reflects its shape. When this effect occurs, we can see that the star and the satellite get more separated each day. The moon gets to hide in the skyline later than the sun. This is why sometimes we can see the moon during the evening or the day.

Por qué los conflictos bélicos modifican y transforman el mapa político?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Los conflictos bélicos tienen varias causas por las cuales se generan, pero una de las más comunes se da por cuestiones limítrofes o de recursos naturales, donde dos o más naciones se enfrentan por no poder delimitar pacíficamente sus diferencias al respecto.

Durante la historia han habido innumerables ejemplos de este tipo de conflicto, como por ejemplo la Guerra de Malvinas entre Argentina y Gran Bretaña, la Guerra del Chaco entre Bolivia y Paraguay, la Guerra del Cenepa entre Ecuador y Perú, o la Guerra Mexicano-Estadounidense por Texas y California en 1845.

En todos estos casos, los conflictos han surgido por diferencias en los límites entre ambos países. En algunos casos, la situación luego de la guerra no cambió, pero en otros como la Guerra Mexicano-Estadounidense los límites cambiaron completamente: en esa guerra México perdió cerca de la mitad de su territorio a manos de los Estados Unidos.

En este ejemplo, podemos ver como el mapa político de América del Norte fue modificado por la guerra: los límites entre ambos países cambiaron, con un país ganándole territorio a su contrario. Así, sucede muchas veces que las guerras terminan modificando los mapas políticos, cambiando fronteras y ajustándolas a nuevas realidades luego de los conflictos.
