Answer:

10 meters

Explanation:

A wave is a natural phenomenon that travels through a material medium but does not have a permanent effect on the particles of the medium. It can either be electromagnetic or mechanical. The propagation of a wave can be represented by a sinusoidal graph, which has crests and troughs.

A crest is the point of maximum displacement, while trough is a point of minimum displacement. The distance between two crests or troughs gives the wavelength of the wave.

From the question, the horizontal distance between a crest to the next trough is 5 meters which is half of the wavelength.

Thus wavelength = 5 × 2

                             = 10

The wavelength is 10 meters.

Sediment is being deposited in a few places, but most places are eroding.

<h3><u>What is sediment?</u></h3>
  • Sediment is a naturally occurring substance that is broken down by weathering processes and then moved by the force of gravity acting on the particles or by the action of wind, water, or ice.
  • For instance, sand and silt can be carried in river water in suspension and, once they reach the sea floor, are deposited through sedimentation.
  • If they are buried, however, they may eventually undergo lithification and turn into sandstone and siltstone.
  • Sediment is moved based on its own size, volume, density, and shape as well as the force of the flow that transports it.

Larger or denser particles will have a higher likelihood of falling through the flow, while stronger flows will increase the lift and drag on the particle, forcing it to ascend.

Conclusion. The plight of refugees. How you feel the refugees should be treated
Zielflug [23.3K]
The plight of refugees is that they suffer deep emotional stresses from displacement. Fleeing their lives in search of a safer place for them to have a future brings with it poverty, fear and health issues. Upon arrival in a new country, I think that they should be treated with equality, dignity and be given the resources and tools from our society to enable them to build a new life for themselves. After their suffering and journey to seek a better place and better life, societies should embrace these people, their skills and abilities and allow them to be a part of other cultures.
