Where is erosion concentrated along a meandering stream?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

c) on the outer banks of the meander loops

Explanation:

The meandering streams form in places that have low elevation and are flat, covered with softer sediments. The stream starts as mostly straight, but as time passes it erodes one of the banks, while depositing on the opposite bank, become very curvy, snake-like in shape, thus a meandering stream. In the meandering streams, the water has the most velocity at the outer banks. This results in greater erosion of the outer banks, and this part constantly moves outwards. In the same time, the water has the least velocity at the inner bank, resulting in deposition of the material that it has been carrying with it, so this part constantly grows inwards.

What are the reasons for why ancient indo-Europeans came to the European continent
Makovka662 [10]

The reasons as to why the Indo-Europeans migrated to Europe were the better climate conditions, more grazing land and fertile soil, and overpopulation.

Explanation:

The Indo-Europeans were a group of people that formed and lived in the Eurasian Steppes, mostly in the lowlands of what is now Central Asia. Central Asia though was not offering the best living conditions, as the climate was harsh, fertile soil, was lacking, the grazing lands were limited, and the population of the Indo-Europeans was constantly growing. This made numerous groups of these people to migrate in several waves toward other regions, including Europe.

Being a war-like people and superior in combat, the Indo-Europeans found it easy to move into the European territories and settle in. The migration waves were mostly going through the lowlands north of the Black Sea, and through Anatolia and the Balkan Peninsula. Very quickly the Indo-Europeans managed to become dominant in Europe, establish their culture, language, and beliefs.

The main reason for migration were:

  • overpopulation
  • better grazing lands
  • fertile soil
  • better climate

Ethnic families that are believed to have originated from the Indo-Europeans are:

  • Celtic people
  • Germanic people
  • Slavic people
  • Baltic people
  • Italic people
  • Daco-Thracian people
  • Illirian people etc.

4. _____ What best describes the density of the atmosphere? A. It increases as you increase in altitude B. It decreases as you i
andre [41]

Answer: B.

Air pressure decreases as you increase in altitude.

Explanation:

Gravity pulls the gas molecules towards the center of the earth. This pull of gravity becomes stronger and closer to the center at sea level. Air becomes dense at sea level where the gravitational pull is stronger. Gases at the sea level are also compressed by the weight of the atmosphere above them. The force of the earth weighing down over a unit air is known as atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lower and the air is less dense than at higher altitude.
