How are fish and water related to the Appalachians?​

Geography

tamaranim1 [39]3 years ago

Answer: The tiny fish in the water-filled plastic bag wouldn’t catch the eye of the casual observer, but to biologists they were part of a great hope. The fish were spotfin chub, a tiny, threatened fish, and these were carefully reared in a fish hatchery and bagged for transport and release into the Cheoah River where hopefully they would thrive.

Think fish in the mountains and you probably think trout, however the Southeast is home to more than 490 fish species, and the Southern Appalachians are home to roughly 300 fish species. Why so many? The Southern Appalachians are part of several river basins draining to the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. Also, the Appalachians are hundreds of millions of years old, and they’ve never been glaciated nor inundated with oceans during that time, giving evolution a long, uninterrupted period in which to work.

Hope it help

Which type of soil can cause lateral movement (water travels sideways) to ditches carrying nutrients with it?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Sandy soil

Explanation:

Water movement in soils is called <em>soil hydrology.</em> The soil texture, the soil structure and gravity affects soil hydrology.

In sandy soil, the particles are largest compared to other types of soils, and these particles are held loosely together.

Water will move laterally in the soil profile if there is enough pore space in that soil (which sandy soils possess). This movement is aided by the capillary action of water in small spaces. The water will bind to the edges of the pores and slowly move laterally and even upward if the voids are small enough.

Earthquakes create three kinds of seismic waves which are:P-waves that are primary waves, S-waves that are secondary wavesand surface waves,which land at seismic account stations in a steady progression.Both P and S waves enter the inside of the Earth while surface waves don't. Because of this, P and S waves are known as "body waves"
