Answer:
They have reduced the river's force to almost nothing by the time it finally empties into the sea.
Explanation:
The Colorado River is one of the biggest rivers in North America. It runs mostly through the United States and little through Mexico where it ends its flow and empties into the sea. This river has been the subject of heavy exploitation by humans, and for that purpose, numerous dams have been built on it.
The number of dams is so high and the water is used at such a high rate that the river barely has any water as it empties into the sea. As this river runs mostly through arid and semi-arid areas that are also used for agriculture, its waters are heavily used for irrigation, leaving less and less water in the river as it gets closer to its endpoint. The dams are helping a lot in the economies of the states through which the Colorado River runs but the effect on the ecosystem of the river has been devastating.
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
an area that receives less precipitation because of its location on the leeward side of a mountain
That's common in high mountains region where the mountains are so high they block the passage of clouds to the other side.
