Answer:

Delta

Explanation:

Delta is a geographical term that describes the formation of wetlands. It is formed from the slow movement of water and deposit from a river into a larger water body. For example lake, sea and ocean. A vivid example is a place where the River Nile moves at a slower pace into the Mediterranean Sea.

Hence, in this case, as a river reaches its mouth it is often affected by incoming tides resulting in a formation called a DELTA.

On the Richter scale of earthquake intensity: Group of answer choices

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The ground is shaken 10 times less by a magnitude-4 quake than by a magnitude-5 quake.

Explanation:

The Richter scale is a system developed by American scientist Charles F. Ritcher to measure the magnitude of earthquakes according to the extent of waves detected by seismographs. In that respect, the larger the earthquake in the scale of Richter, the more damage it causes. Thus, a magnitude-5 earthquake makes the ground shake more and produces more considerable destruction than a magnitude-4 quake.
