Geography

Answer:

Light travels in waves, and we call this traveling propagation. Propagation of waves has both a speed and a direction, called the velocity. The velocity of light changes depends on the material it travels through.

Light waves can be changed in a few different ways. Reflection is when the waves bounce off a surface and change direction, like when they hit a mirror or pool of water. Diffraction spreads out light waves as well

The refractive index of water is 0.3297 more than air. The refractive index of the medium-water is 1.33 meaning that the molecules in this transparent liquid causes the speed of light to become SLOWER than air.

The discharge of a river traveling through a temperate region will typically ________ downstream; the discharge of a river trave
8090 [49]

Increase

Explanation:

The discharge of a river traveling through a temperate region will typically increase downstream. For arid regions, the discharge decreases downstream.

  • Discharge is the volume of water of a river that flows through a point per seconds.
  • In a temperate region, as a river flows downstream, more bodies of water from different sources joins together with it.
  • Rivers generally tend to flow into natural basins which are located downstream.
  • These basins are located at very low elevation.
  • As more bodies of water collects together, the volume of the water will increase and so is the discharge too.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: C. latitude

Explanation: The climate distribution of the earth is controlled by a number of factors. These factors include latitude, elevation or altitude, nearby water (proximity of large water bodies), ocean currents, topography, vegetation, and major winds.

Latitude influences climate in that areas with higher latitudes receive less sunlight. The climate in the regions close to the equator is usually warm because equator receives the most sunlight of anywhere on Earth.
