Answer:

<u>D. Gradient decreases, discharge increases.</u>

Explanation:

  • As steam is a body of water that carries rock particles and dissolved ions,  discharge is measured in terms of volume/time (m3/sec).  So when a river discharges its flow from a headwater to its mouth the velocity increases in the downstream direction.
  • Thus the river load-carrying capacity increases downwards and so does the discharge rate. The discharge rate can also be influenced due to the rainfall patterns, volume of water and velocity of flow.
  • Rock types also impact the streamflow if it is a porous rock, the surface will absorb more of moisture content and comparative more will be the water penetration towers the mouth of the flow.

Explanation:

  • Coral reefs are found in the oceans formed by the accumulation of the skeletal remains of the invertebrates. They are found under water.
  • Cold seeps refers to those area where the gases such as methane, hydrogen sulfide comes out through the vent, under water.
  • Hydrothermal vents are the places where the hot intruding magma reacts with the sea water producing a vent.
  • Rocky intertidal zone refers to the zone between a high and a low tidal mark.

Thus under the ocean, the structures such as coral reefs, cold seeps and hydrothermal vents forms where the tide is not so high and not so low.

           Kelp forest is the odd one, that refers to those brown colored seaweeds, having high nutrients in salt water.

How does the Antarctic wildlife lure tourists to come to this region?
iragen [17]

There is no doubt Antarctica is an incredible tourist destination. It is a magnificent and largely uninhabited wilderness with majestic mountains, glaciers, icebergs and abundant wildlife. Its remoteness, inaccessibility and severe climate add an element of adventure to a visit to Antarctica.


Visitor numbers have increased rapidly over the last few decades. During the 1998-99 summer season, over 10,000 tourists visited Antarctica compared with less than 2,000 19 years ago. Tours are organised by private companies and people from all over the world make the journey to see the icy continent.


The trend of increasing visitor numbers has led the Antarctic Treaty countries to establish guidelines and regulations to minimise the impact of these visitors on this remarkable environment.
