An estuary is where salt water and fresh water meet. Estuaries are usually found at the edge of the coast, where the ocean water, or salty water, meets river, lake, any fresh water source, water.
A tributary is something completely different. It is a, usually smaller than the main river or lake, river/stream stemming off a bigger river or lake, or flowing into that river or lake.
Explanation:
The physical environment of forests is determined by edaphic (soil) factors and micro-climate (precipitation, light, temperature, and wind). Gas-exchange within forest canopies depends upon the microclimatic condition within the forest, as well as, edaphic factors and water availability.
Answer:
Exposed
Explanation:
When the ice age ended, the glaciers slowly retreated until they reached their current extent limited to the polar regions and alpine mountain climates. The land covered by ice had also been depressed by the weight of the massive glaciers and consequently began to rebound in the centuries following the retreat of the ice sheets. These once frozen lands also turned into large boreal forests with rich ecosystems.
Answer:
b. The terrain is mostly desert and mountains
Explanation:
Afghanistan is a country that has proved to be extremely difficult to invade, and that has been the case for thousands of years. There is one major reason for this, the geography of the country. The country is dominated by very high mountains that create rain shadow and and deserts. The mountains themselves are extremely difficult for passing through, and even if they are passed by an invading army, they will take their toll. Once the mountains are passed, an invading army would face desert, very dry climate, very few food sources and very little water, with temperatures varying from scorching hot in the summer, to freezing cold in the winter. So even if an army passes through both of these natural obstacles, when it comes to face the natives it will be too weak to invade.
I don’t think so because people think Africa is poor and has little water
