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.

Deltas are built up by<br> a. deposition.<br> b. leaching.<br> c. abrasion.<br> d. erosion.
lesya692 [45]

The correct answer is - a. deposition.

The deltas are formed at the mouths of the rivers right before they enter a large water body, like ocean, sea, or lake. The rivers carry lot of material with them, and they do not have any problem carrying it while they are moving faster, but when they are slowing down significantly, they lose the force required to carry the material, so the material starts to deposit on the river banks. As the material deposits, it makes it hard for all of the river's water to pass through its river bed that is becoming partially blocked, so the river starts to branch out, and seen from above it takes a triangular shape if the peripheries are outlined, or as a tree that is branching out.

A customer is attempting to return merchandise that you believe was purchased elsewhere
elixir [45]
In such cases, the person who wants to change it has to show a receipt of the purchase. If the person does not have a receipt and still persists you can call the manager and the manager can solve it. If the manager is not there, you can say that there's nothing that you can do and that the person can return at a later time when the manager might be there. You can also point them to your customer service.
