How does River erosion affect landscapes in the mountain

Geography
1 answer:
ki77a [65]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Rivers have three sections or courses: the upper course, middle course and lower course. The upper course of a river typically sees much erosion of bedrock in order to achieve the equilibrium mentioned above.

The upper course is also at the highest altitude as this is where the headwaters of the river originate. Rivers in the upper course erode down vertically which often creates a steep channel profile in what becomes the river valley.

The middle course sees a river at a slightly lower altitude than the upper course, but is still maintains a sense of trying to acquire equilibrium in flow and shape. The discharge and velocity of the river still allows the water to erode the banks and chart a course of least resistance through lateral erosion.

The lower course is unique as this is the stage in which a river has reached sea level. Here we find features not found in the middle and upper courses like floodplains and river deltas that have been formed by the sediment deposits of rocks and dirt gathered from upstream.

Which of the following is NOT true of dry lands? Areas too dry for farming cover about 20 percent of the Earth's surface Deserts
umka21 [38]

Answer:

No agriculture can take place in dry lands due to lack of water.

Explanation:

This is the statement that is not true of dry lands. It is true that dry lands are generally not suitable for large-scale agriculture. However, this does not mean that no agriculture can take place in them. People who have lived in dry lands for generations often farm in a small scale. Moreover, they grow crops that are resistant to this lack of water. Finally, some dry lands are significantly productive due to the use of artificial irrigation.
