<u>Answer:</u>

The huge widespread span and a few other unique qualities of the Sahara desert make it an important feature of the geography of northern Africa.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The Sahara desert is the largest desert in the world. It hosts a plethora of indigenous animals and birds rarely found anywhere else in the world.
  • Some of these animal species are nocturnal which are known for their habit of making best use of coolest night hours in the desert.
  • Plant species like cactus species of various kinds are seen thriving in the vast desert.
  • The concentration of salt in the Sahara desert is the least. That quality alone makes it the best desert for the survival of desert plants.

The Sahara desert is important for a multiple of reasons. One is that although it is a desert, there are many fertile areas of land making it great for farming and supporting life. It also acts as a natural barrier in between north and south Africa, which was able to impact trade with the South, slowing down innovation on both sides.

Earthquakes generate compressional waves (p-waves) and shear waves (s-waves). compared to the speed of shear waves in a given ea
neonofarm [45]
Earthquakes generate compressional waves (p-waves) and shear waves (s-waves). Compared to the speed of shear waves in a given earth material, the speed of compressional waves is the fastest.
Because of this the compressional waves are the first waves to arrive on a complete record of ground shaking. They are also called P waves, which derives from this fact - P is an abbreviation for primary, first wave to arrive.<span>They typically travel at speeds between ~1 and ~14 km/sec.</span>

How does Glaciation affects the soil? (Both in a good way and a bad way) Thanks!
vodomira [7]
Glaciers carry soil from one place to another. This means that a lot of the fertile soil used mainly for that one area could have been taken away and effected negatively because the fertile soil on the bottom isn't as good as the one on the top, which has been dragged away by glaciers. However, it can take soil to environments where soil is needed, helping it.
(So sorry but the same questions get the same answers lol)

How does a stream typically change as it flows from its headwaters to its mouth?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

<u>D. Gradient decreases, discharge increases.</u>

Explanation:

  • As steam is a body of water that carries rock particles and dissolved ions,  discharge is measured in terms of volume/time (m3/sec).  So when a river discharges its flow from a headwater to its mouth the velocity increases in the downstream direction.
  • Thus the river load-carrying capacity increases downwards and so does the discharge rate. The discharge rate can also be influenced due to the rainfall patterns, volume of water and velocity of flow.
  • Rock types also impact the streamflow if it is a porous rock, the surface will absorb more of moisture content and comparative more will be the water penetration towers the mouth of the flow.
