Why did the Yellow River flood so frequently? A. The countryside was on high ground. B. The countryside was very dry. C. The riv
xeze [42]

The correct answer is - C. The river carried enormous amounts of silt.

The Yellow River, got this nickname because it is yellowish from the enormous amounts of silt it carries. When there were heavy rains, or the snow was melting, the river got more water, but also more silt, so the silt was partially blocking the free movement of all of the water, so it was flooding the surrounding are. In one way, the floods were terrible because they were destroying pretty much everything on their way, but on the other side, were living huge amounts of deposits that were fertilizing the soil for the agriculture.

Sorry for asking again, but starting from 500 A.D. what were some of the natural resources of Japan?
SSSSS [86.1K]
<span>         Japan has significant coastal waters, which provide the country with fish and other seafood. However, the demand for fish is so high that it must be supplemented with imports from abroad. Although Japan has a small amount of arable land, the country has some of the highest crop yields in the world, producing over 60 percent of its own food each year. The country has adequate supplies of gold, silver, and magnesium, but it must import many of the minerals essential to its booming electronics industry, such as iron ore and copper.</span>
