Explain the difference between a Long Profile and a Cross Profile of a River.

Geography
1 answer:
dimulka [17.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The average flow velocity of a river increases along its long profile. This makes sense; along the profile, more potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, increasing the velocity. This is only the average velocity however; a cross-section of a river shows that the velocity varies from one side to the other.

F the trends in the population pyramids continue, what will the population of germany look like in 20 or 50 years
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Germany is well known to have big problems with the aging population, and its very low fertility rate. This contributes to a highly deformed population pyramid, where the lowest part of the pyramid is becoming thinner and thinner, while the middle section is significantly increasing, as well as the upper part of the pyramid that becomes thicker and thicker because of the long lifespan in the country.

In the next twenty years, Germany will face stagnation in the number of population, and this will be because the minorities (mainly the Muslims) will be balancing the numbers because of their very high fertility rate. In the next 50 years, with this trend, we will witness a big drop in the numbers of the ethnic Germans, and very big increase in the numbers of the minorities (mainly Muslims) which will also contribute to the country's population to start to increase again.

The geocentric model was developed during the time of the ancient Greeks. This model ________.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

  • The very first recorded case of a geocentric universe originates from around the sixth century BCE. It was during this time Pre-Socratic thinker Anaximander proposed a cosmological framework where a round and hollow Earth was held on high at the focal point of everything.  
  • As per the geocentric model, the Sun, stars, Moon and planets all orbits the Earth. The geocentric model was the overwhelming depiction of the universe in numerous old human advancements, for example, those of Aristotle in Classical Greece and Ptolemy in Roman Egypt.  
  • The geocentric model was inevitably supplanted by the heliocentric model. The most punctual heliocentric model, Copernican heliocentrism, could expel Ptolemy's epicycles in light of the fact that the retrograde movement could be believed to be the consequence of the mix of Earth and planet development and paces.
