A river delta<span> is a landform that forms from deposition of sediment carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or standing water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot transport away the supplied sediment.

Explanation:
Hypothesis: Floods most often occur near large rivers.After plotting out the recent floods from the data we collected, we found that most of the floods we found were in the United States. Therefore, we decided to plot just on the U.S. so we would better be able to see the individual straights and rivers that exist and see if our hypothesis would hold up. After we did plot the floods, we found that almost all of them fell near a river, especially on the Mississippi River. This makes sense because if water levels rise due to rainfall or another cause, a flood can easily occur. Some of our recorded floods occurred not on a river but instead on Lake Michigan including the flood that occurred in Milwaukee and Chicago. For all of the other recorded floods though, we were able to prove our hypothesis because all of the floods fall near major rivers that exist in the United States. Though some of the floods
Answer:
- As you move away from Venus, the sulfuric acid content increases.
Explanation:
The atmosphere of Venus primarily consists of CO2 along with sturdy clouds of sulfuric acid that covers the entire planet. This is the key reason that the more one goes away from the surface of the planet, the more there is an increase in the amount of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere. Thus, Venus is characterized as the hottest planet despite not being closest to the sun.
The deforestation of the Amazon rainforest to create land for the large-scale livestock rearing for meat destroys the water catchment area, leading to the water shortages and global warming.
