Answer:

The North Carolina river basins are significantly smaller in any aspect when compared to the Amazon river basin.

Explanation:

North Carolina has seventeen river basins, all of which are of relatively small size. Five of those river basins drain in the Gulf of Mexico and the other twelve drain in the Atlantic Ocean. In any of the seventeen river basins, there isn't a single river that can be considered as large, but they are of medium and small size.

The Amazon river basin, on the other hand, is incomparably larger. It is the river basin that contains the highest amount of water by far. The central river of this basin, the Amazon River, is the river that has the biggest volume of water on Earth, and all rivers combined from North Carolina don't come anywhere near in site to even be compared to it. It is not just the Amazon though, but rivers like Jurua, Purus, Madeira, Tapajos, Xingu, individually have more water than all of North Carolina's river basins.

Which feature is the result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves?
slavikrds [6]
The features that result as a form of a glacier carving out rock and forms into the landscape over which it slides are called cirques. When a glacier moves it erodes the surface of the earth beneath it. In this process of erosion large boulders and very small pebbles all get caught up in the path of the glacier and move along with it. This moment causes deep depressions into the earth, changing the landscape. The deposition of rocks and silt from a melting glacier also changes the form of the land over which the glacier moves.

How would the earth's climate change if there were no surface currents
nekit [7.7K]
Wind and Ocean Currents: �Heat Movers�<span>Both air currents and ocean currents move heat. Energy is stored as "latent heat" in the atmosphere. In the surface waters of the ocean it is stored as "sensible heat." Atmospheric and oceanic circulation share the task of<span>heat </span>redistribution on a roughly fifty-fifty basis. Even though transfer of heat by moving water in ocean currents is much less efficient than transfer by moving vapor in wind, the masses involved are much greater in the ocean currents than in the air currents.
