Geography

An open lake is a lake where water constantly flows out under almost all climatic circumstances. Because water does not remain in an open lake for any length of time, open lakes are usually fresh water: dissolved solids do not accumulate. Open lakes form in areas where precipitation is greater than evaporation. Because most of the world's water is found in areas of highly effective rainfall, most lakes are open lakes whose water eventually reaches the sea. For instance, the Great Lakes' water flows into the St. Lawrence River and eventually the Atlantic Ocean.

In a closed lake (see endorheic drainage), no water flows out, and water which is not evaporated will remain in a closed lake indefinitely. This means that closed lakes are usually saline, though this salinity varies greatly from around three parts per thousand for most of the Caspian Sea to as much as 400 parts per thousand for the Dead Sea. Only the less salty closed lakes are able to sustain life, and it is completely different from that in rivers or freshwater open lakes. Closed lakes typically form in areas where evaporation is greater than rainfall, although most closed lakes actually obtain their water from a region with much higher precipitation than the area around the lake itself, which is often a depression of some sort.

Hope this helps :)

xeze [42]

The correct answer is - C. The river carried enormous amounts of silt.

The Yellow River, got this nickname because it is yellowish from the enormous amounts of silt it carries. When there were heavy rains, or the snow was melting, the river got more water, but also more silt, so the silt was partially blocking the free movement of all of the water, so it was flooding the surrounding are. In one way, the floods were terrible because they were destroying pretty much everything on their way, but on the other side, were living huge amounts of deposits that were fertilizing the soil for the agriculture.

A rock inclusion in a basalt lava flow is dated at 56 Ma. This means the lava flow must have occurred _______ 56 Ma.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

after

Explanation:

The rock inclusions are older than the rock that is surrounding them. In this case, we have a rock inclusion that is dated to 56 Ma. It is an inclusion in basalt. This means that the lava flow, as it was moving in that area managed to get the rock inclusion, and as the lava started to cool off, it consolidated and trapped the rock inclusion in it for time to come. This makes up for a very interesting appearance of the rocks, as there is the basis, being all from the same type of mineral, and then inside of the uniform rock mass, there is a totally different smaller piece of rock sticking out.
