<u>Answer:</u>
A "small mountain stream" will have a<u> greater</u> competence and a <u>lower</u> capacity than the "Mississippi River".
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Streams flowing down a mountain tend to have more kinetic energy and momentum than the rivers flowing through plains.
- This increases their competence but at the same time, drains their capacity to convert themselves into larger streams.
- Most of the Mississippi River's course happens to pass through plains.
- That is why the Mississippi River has less competence yet more capacity than a "small mountain stream".
a) <u>TWO important causes for the variation in the temperature and/or salinity of an estuary as follows:</u>
Salinity will vary hourly, because of the tides. Temperature will vary depending on the time of year. Solar radiation, different in winter than in summer, changes the temperature.
b) <u>TWO roles that coastal wetlands play Ecologically</u>
- they provide a habitat for various wildlife
- provide nutrient cycling, or soak up excess nutrients.
<u>TWO roles that wetlands play Economically</u>
- they provide a location for fishing and other sources of recreation
- reduce flooding and erosion.
c) <u>THREE ways in which humans have had a negative impact on or have degraded coastal wetlands as follows:</u>
- They have removed wetlands for agricultural purposes
- more use of groundwater, which reduces the balance of the ecosystem
- have water pollution, plants harvest, and birds hunt.
d) Overused groundwater can be reduced by charging user fees to those who use it, as well as increasing the number of wildlife refugees, which will restrict available land for groundwater use.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Estuary is a land form that formed in the lower course of a river where river enters into the sea. Here temperature and salinity varies with solar radiation as the intensity of sun rays different season wise. During the time of tides salinity level does fluctuate.
Wetland is a very important feature of environment. It is also known as the kidney of environment and it acts as a natural habitat for the animals and economically important zone for the fishing. It is also a recreation zone. With increasing population over burden on agricultural land enhances adversities on environment.
True, they burn up in the mesosphere
Answer:
global warming
creatures that need certain conditions and temperatures to live in won't have a place to live in anymore.
<span>German and French are the most spoken
and aprox... 390,000 people worldwide speak Luxembourgish.
Luxembourgish is also spoken in small parts of the surrounding countries of Belgium (in the Province of Luxembourg near Arlon), France (in small parts of the Lorraine) and Germany (around Bitburg and Trier). In Germany and Lorraine it is simply considered the local German dialect. Since the Second World War, however, the language has not been taught in these countries, with the result that use of Luxembourgish is largely restricted to the older generations.
Furthermore, the language is spoken by a few descendants of Luxembourg immigrants in the United States, and a closely related variety is spoken by ethnic Germans long settled in Transylvania, Romania (Siebenbürgen). </span>
