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.

Can you think of other examples of things you might understand theoretically, but not practically?

german

Answer:

Best example would be Carnot engine. It is possible in theory not in real life.

Explanation:

In real engines, the heat transfers at a sudden change in temperature whereas in a Carnot engine, the temperature remains constant. In our day to day lives, reversible processes can't be carried out and there is no such engine with 100 % efficiency. Thus, the Carnot cycle is practically not possible.

Why are earthquakes most common around the Pacific Ocean? Use the following words for your answer. convergent boundary subductio

melomori [17]

I don’t want to spend the time using all the words but I can state why lots of volcanic activity is there because of the ring of fire it is 25,000 miles long and the reason for all of the volcanos is because of all of the convergent boundaries

Base your answers to questions 75 through 79 on the map and table below and on your knowledge of Earth

jeyben [28]

The table shows that amphibole has a density 3.3 g/cm^3; feldspar has 2.6 g/cm^3, garnet has 4.2 g/cm^3, and finally quartz has 2.7. This means that garnet has the greatest density.

The diameter of the largest particle that would be carried at point A when the velocity of the Battenkill River is 50 cm/s is 0.8 to 1.1 cm.

So, The answer ranges from any value of 0.8 cm to 1.1 cm.

True or False: Members of the Wampanoag tribe helped the colonists survive.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

True, members of the Wampanoag tribe helped the colonists survive.

Explanation:

When the colonists first arrived in what is now Massachusets, they didn't really know what they're facing and were simply not aware of the conditions in the area and how to survive long term. This was a big problem because the reason why they moved there was because of searching for new opportunities and by not surviving this wouldn't have happened, while the government had its goal on long term settlements through which it will increase its influence in the region.

The reason why the colonists, referred to as Pilgrims, survived were the members of the native Americans, namely the Wampanoag. The Wampanoag were friendly and they explained to the colonists what they can expect climate-wise, thought them about the characteristics of the land, introduced them to local crops and how to grow them so that they can feed themselves. This led to good and friendly relations between the two groups and the colonists survived and managed to remain in the area.
