<h2>Answer: Tributary</h2>

A tributary is a water course or river that does not flow directly into the sea or ocean, but in another river (usually called main stem or parent river) that usually has a greater flow, being the joint point of both called confluence.

Thus, the tributary is a complementary part of a main river. Generally, the <u>tributaries tend to have a shorter length and a less abundant flow than the main rivers into which they flow.</u> However, there are exceptions such as the case of the Missouri River, which is a tributary of the Mississippi and has a considerable flow compared to the main river.

If the Convention were held today, do you think the delegates could have met in as much privacy ? Explain your answer .
Doss [256]

<em>Are you talking about the Constitutional Convention?</em>

Answer:

No, I don't think so. Lots of conferences nowadays have many reporters there to record exactly what you're going to say. In the presidents office, there is always a camera or reporter in there. Back then, they could control that but if we did that now, the American people would riot.

Describe how continents and coeans are carried on tectontic plates
horsena [70]
Seems very basic, the ocean is above the plate, the plate material is heavier than water (it being rock). That's pretty much all of it. The plates grind a little and new land pushes up at plate boundaries but this does not seem to be related. The heavier material is below and the lighter above, those being rock and water respectively.
