How do the NC river basins compare to the Amazon's river basins?

Geography
1 answer:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Suppose you read in the newspaper that a new planet has been found. Its average speed in orbit is 33 km/s. When it is closest to
Natalka [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Kepler's second law states that for a planet orbiting a star, if we join the planet and the star by an imaginary line, such line sweeps equal areas in equal times.

Let's imagine the planetary orbit is elliptical. When the planet is closest to the star it travels a large distance in its orbit but takes little time to travel. When the planet is furthest from the star, it travels a small distance in the orbit but in a long time so it ends up sweeping the same are as in the first case.

Therefore, this means when the planet is closest to the star it must have a greater speed than when it's furthest. We know this thanks to the speed formula v = d/t (velocity equals distance divided by time).

For a great distance and small time, speed is a large value.

For a small distance and a great time, speed is a small value.

Which of the arrows on the climate map above is pointing to the sahel the semiarid region bordering the Sahara desert
Marta_Voda [28]

Since there's no map, I will explain where it is, so hopefully you can figure it out.

The Sahel is a semi arid region in Northern Africa. More specifically, it is located on the easternmost part of Northern Africa, bordering the vast Sahara desert on the west, and the Red Sea on the east.

This region is very interesting. It is mostly composed of eroded hills and plateaus, which over time got very interesting and attractive shapes, making the region look like it has been taken out of a movie.

There's very little activity in the Sahel, in general, as there's not a lot of people living in this area.
