Answer: After the hurricane, Galveston raised the elevation of many new buildings by more than 10 feet (3 meters). The city also built an extensive seawall to act as a buffer against future storms. Despite the reconstruction, the city's status as the premier shipping port was lost to Houston a few years after the disaster. Ike, however, is projected to head west on a path that will take it close to Hispaniola, Cuba, and the Florida Straits.”
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Drainage Basin
2. mouth
3. discharge
4. headwaters
5. meanders.
6. floodplain
Explanation:
A drainage basin is an area where water from precipitation such as rainwater collects before draining into a water body such as a river.
A delta is created where the highest quantity of sediments are deposited at the mouth of a river.
A river's discharge is the quantity of water flowing through a channel in a river.
The headwaters of a river are the source of water of a river, and are usually the farthest point from where it joins/empties into another water body.
Meanders are common feature of A stream with a low to moderate gradient.
A river with a well-developed floodplain has a flat low-lying channel and floods when there is a high quantity of water flowing through the river.
Answer:
1.Unpredicible and noncyclic.
Explanation:
Answer:
The rocks at the bottom of the ocean are younger than the rocks on the continent. This can be pessible due to the process called Continental Drift.
Explanation:
For a long time the human being wondered what would be the age relationship between the rocks at the bottom of the ocean and the rocks of the continent. Which rocks were younger or older? The scientific advance that humanity achieved during the second world war allowed this question to be answered, as it was during this period that "sonar" was created, a device that is able to reveal the ocean floor
From the creation of this device, and other equipment, scientists were able to study the underwater mountains known as oceanic dorsals. During these studies, scientists were able to create methods of donating rocks and were able to conclude that the closer to the oceanic mountains the rocks were, the younger they were. On the other hand, the closer to the continent, the rocks were, the older they were. They will conclude that this must have been influenced by the phenomenon called continental drift, which refers to the movement of the masses of the planet over a period of time.
