Answer:

The original boundary between the states of Nebraska and Iowa was the Missouri River.  The border departs from the river channel because the river's course moved eastward many years after the boundaries were established.

Explanation:

The boundary between Nebraska and Iowa was the Missouri River. In 1877, the river course moved, and a town called Carter Lake on the Iowa side is now on the Alaska side. Even though Alaska claimed the land, the Supreme Court stated that the area belongs to the state of Iowa. That is why the boundary departs from the river channel.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

I'll assume you have to match the name with their definitions.

1. aquifers

underground water sources  

That's because of the presence of porous rocks that let water pass through them and reach an underground cavern that then acts as a tank.

2. delta  

a broad, triangular-shaped land area at the mouth of a river

That's common especially in larger rivers that meet their destination point (usually the ocean).

3. oasis  

a small fertile area in the desert, usually a place where water is close to the surface (plural - oases)  

We all heard about oases in the desert, where human and animals alike gather to drink.

4. rain shadow

That's common in high mountains region where the mountains are so high they block the passage of clouds to the other side.

Why is it useful to understand weather patterns associated with fronts
Eddi Din [679]
The study of the weather in these early years is important because it can help students understand that some events in nature have a repeating pattern. It also is important for students to study the earth repeatedly because they take years to acquire the knowledge that they need to complete the picture.

Weather fronts do the same thing - they advance forward, creating weather changes and sometimes even violent storms along the front. ... Thunderstorms are common along cold fronts. This is because when a cold front occurs from a cold air mass moving into a warm air mass, the warm air is forced upward.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

The duration of hours of the day is longer during the summer and shorter during the winter and this influences the temperature in these two seasons. As the day is longer in the summer, it means that the hemisphere that this summer has more exposure to the sun and therefore has higher temperatures. The opposite happens in the winter, as there is less exposure to the sun, due to the shorter day, which can help in decreasing the time.
