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.

I need help is about rock
Ghella [55]
Definition of erosion (according to National Geographic): “Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.”

1. Describe the features that water erosion produces in your images (mountains, canyons, deserts, etc?) What do they have in COMMON?

Mountains: Water erosion would create a waterway around the mountains.

Canyons: Water erosion would create more area between the canyons.

Deserts: Water erosion would generally change the desert’s landscape by making the hills more downslope.

What they have in common: They all create changes to the landscape of different areas.

2. You can see water erosion even when you do not see water. How is this possible? Be clear!

This is possible by rain?

What are the sources and any problems associated with 1) fossil, 2) nuclear, and 3) renewable fuels?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

<u>Fossil fuel- </u>The sources of fossil fuels are directly from the plants and animals, that are buried millions of years back and are converted into fossil now.

The consumption of fossil fuel leads to the emission of carbon into the atmosphere that is responsible for the increasing global temperature. This is one of the major problem of fossil fuel use.

<u>Nuclear fuel-</u> Nuclear fuels are derived from the radioactive elements such as uranium, strontium and potassium.

One of the major problem of using nuclear fuel is that it releases radioactive waste, that are harmful for various life forms.

<u>Renewable fuels-</u> This are renewable energy that can be generated again and again and are directly derived from the wind, water and the sun. For example, wind mill, solar panels and dams.

One problem of renewable fuels is that it has a lower production of energy such as electricity in comparison to the fossil fuels.
