The flow of the Chang Jiang is some 20 times greater than that of the
Huang He. As much of 40% of China's total grain production, 70% of rice
output, and more than 40% of the population are associated with the
Chang Jiang's vast basin that includes more than 3,000 tributaries. With
its numerous tributaries, the Chang Jiang drains nearly 20% of China's
total area. Its upper reaches tap the uplands of the Tibetan Plateau
before sweeping across the enormous and agriculturally productive
Sichuan Basin that supports nearly 10% of China's total population. It
is in the middle course of the Chang Jiang that the controversial Three
Gorges Dam is being constructed.
Sub-Saharan Africa's equatorial area is known as Equatorial Africa. There are 13-14 nations, so I'm guessing you want Ethiopia, Rwanda, Kenya, and Somalia, which are the most well-known. Savannas in the north and south, as well as mountains and tropical rain forests, characterize the landscape.

<h2><u>
Relation between buoyancy, isostatic equilibrium, and epeirogenic processes</u></h2>
Buoyant force or buoyancy, is the force exerted in an object which is fully or partially occupied in a fluid. Isostatic equilibrium is the gravitational equilibrium between earth's crust and underlying mantle. while epeirogenic process is the depression of land having long wavelengths.
Both epeirogenic process and isostatic equilibrium uses the principle of buoyancy. The crust of the Earth or the lithosphere floats over underlying mantle at an elevation depending upon its density and thickness.
Answer: D
Explanation: The Ghana Empire, properly known as Wagadou (as Ghana was the title of its ruler), was a West African empire located in the area occupied by present-day southeastern Mauritania and western Mali. Although complex societies based on trans-Saharan trade in salt and gold had existed in the region for centuries, the introduction of the camel to the western Sahara in the 3rd century CE, opened the way to great changes in the area that eventually became the Ghana Empire.
The Ghana Empire grew rich from increased trans-Saharan trade in gold and salt, allowing for larger urban centres to develop. With these commodities being transported and traded through Ghana, the Kingdom was able to become very wealthy by taxing the goods that came through the trade center. It also helped that Ghana had many trade routes that were well protected by its large military force as this encouraged other merchants to come to Ghana for trade.
