Geography

Aleksandr [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The flow velocity, or speed of flow, can influence the shape and rate of erosion of a river system. The cross-sectional shape of a river dictates how much friction will impact the flow of water within a river. Finally, the sediment load, or the amount of rocks and soil in the river, impacts its flow velocity and shape.The velocity of a river is determined by many factors, including the shape of its channel, the gradient of the slope that the river moves along, the volume of water that the river carries and the amount of friction caused by rough edges within the riverbed. Access to a fresh water supply is affected by the following factors: Climate – low levels of rainfall and high temperatures lead to water deficits . When rainfall is low, there is less water available. When temperatures are high, water evaporates and so there is less available to use.

What is the theory for formation of fossil fuel plz help
Fed [463]

Answer:

The theory of the formation of fossil fuels is that fossil fuels are the remnants of organisms that lived a long time ago and were buried, heated, and formed into hydrocarbons.

Explanation:

A is not correct because the nitrogen is not a gas that is dominant in fossil fuels.

B is not correct because the oxygen can not turn to carbon in any manner.

C is correct because the consensus about the formation of fossil fuels is that after the organisms were dying out, they were getting buried (usually in the soft layers of the ocean floor), over time with the higher temperatures and pressure from below managed to change their structure and create hydrocarbons.

D is not correct because there hasn't been any evidence so far that there are fossil fuels on comets and asteroids.

The diagram shows the global wind pattern in the lower atmosphere. What is the main factor that determines the global wind patte
Anon25 [30]
The correct answer is A) the direction of ocean currents.
Ocean currents ,with their movement, contribute to the movement of the lower air masses. The lower air masses are practically like a shadow of the ocean currents and follow it's movement, thus winds are created by the ocean currents. Also it is important to notice, that the winds can be warm and cold, dry and wet, this all depends on the temperature of the ocean currents, as well as where are they moving in the ocean waters.
