How does a meander form in a river?

Geography
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A meander forms in a river by eroding laterally, to the right side then the left side and the left side again, this forms large bends, which then horseshoe like loops called meanders. The force of the water then erodes and undercuts the river bank on the outside of the bend which is where the water flows and it has the most energy due to the decreasing friction.

hope this helps :)

What are monaco singapore and vatican city examples of?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

City-states

Explanation:

Monaco, Singapore, and Vatican are all examples of city-states. While this type of state was very common in the past, nowadays it is only these three states that officially fall into this category. Monaco is located in Europe, on the Azure coastline. Vatican is also located in Europe, in the central part of the Italian capital Rome. Singapore is located in Asia, connecting the continental and island parts of Southeast Asia. All three are very powerful economically, with Vatican also having big religious and political power, and Singapore being one of the economic leaders in its region.

In much of what is now Canada, glaciers covered the land as little as 12,000 years ago and glacial erosion scoured the land surf
irinina [24]

The reason why the Midwestern United States have a very fertile soil, but Canada doesn't, despite both of them being covered by glaciers until relatively recently, and both having the same age of soil, is the climate and vegetation.

Canada is much colder than the Midwest, its winters are longer, and the summers mild, while the Midwest has higher temperatures, prolonged period of drought, and seasonal rainfall.

Because of this, Canada has been covered by coniferous forests. They leave relatively little biomass, and also the climate is making the decomposition of the biomass very slow, thus resulting in relatively poor soil quality.

In the Midwest, the climate is perfect for the development of the grasslands. The grasses grown and die each year. They live a lot of biomass, and the higher temperatures contribute that the biomass decomposes pretty quickly, thus resulting in good quality soil.

elena55 [62]
The Saudi Arabia politics are take place in the context of a totalitarian absolute monarchy with some Islamic (Wahhabi Islam) lines, and the King is both the Saudi Arabia's head of state and absolute monarch (i.e. he is the head of government). The King also serves as the head of the Saudi royal family, the House of Saud, which is also why the country bears the name that it has.

Please match the correct word to the correct definition. Question 1 options: The Seneca Falls Conference (1848) Urban Suffrage S
larisa [96]

Answer:

1 The Seneca Falls Conference (1848)  

2 Suburban  

3 Density

4 Suffrage

5 Urban  

6 Rural

Explanation:

1. First meeting to begin working for women’s rights organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. The Seneca Falls Conference (1848)  

That was indeed the very first official public meeting on the subject of the right to vote for women.  It took more than 70 years to make it become a reality.  This meeting held in New York State, attracted about 300 people, mostly locals, for a 3-day event discussing the women's rights in general and the right to vote in particular.

2. Is a community lying just outside of a larger city area. Suburban  

Suburban means it's not the country side, but it's not the big city it's located next to either.  Suburban areas are mostly residential areas where people live but go to the city to work.  Those areas are filled with houses, restaurants and shopping malls mostly, not corporate offices (they are located downtown, in the city).

3. Refers to the number of people that live in a given urban area. Typically measured by either the square meter or square mile: Density

That's the measure of the number of people living in a given space.  It could be a city, a state or even a country.  It's simply calculated by dividing the number of people by the area they live in.  Based on that, you can say for example that Canada has a people density much lower than the US... because for about the same territory (area), much less people live in Canada.

4. The right to vote in political elections: Suffrage

That's why we called "suffragettes" the people fighting for the right to vote for women.  "Suffrage" also indicates any form of formal votation, like a referendum, in which a very large portion of the  population is invited to cast their vote for or against a resolution.  The issue at hand can be an election, as well as any other state matter.

5. A town or a city area:  Urban

That's where most people work in big countries.  The people go to the city/town to work into offices for example.  That's where the downtown part of the city is.  Some people might live in the city, while others live in the suburban areas around the city.  We often describe the city as the center of the donut and the suburban area are the ring of the donut.

6. Countryside rather than the town, the areas located outside of urban and suburban areas. Typically, thought of as primarily agricultural, it does refer to all areas outside of cities and suburbs such as swamp, forest and mountain areas too:  Rural

This is where food is grown through large fields of plantations, or bovine farms.  The houses are far apart and the roads are much smaller because there is much less traffic, due to having less people transiting.  That also includes areas that are not suitable for buildings like lakes, forests or mountains.
