Biology
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]4 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Sediment discharge was historically approximately 270 million cubic meters/year of suspended load and 130 million cubic meters/year of bedload. This has decreased 80% since 1850 and can be divided into three periods: historical period (pre 1900), pre-dam period (1932-1952), and post dam (1963-1982). Suspended sediment loads declined 43% between the historical and pre-dam and 51% from pre-dam to post-dam periods. The size of sediment also decreased drastically including a 72% decrease in the sand fraction. Most of this is due to dams on the tributaries acting as sediment traps primarily for the coarser sediments. Large-scale land clearing for agriculture contributed to increased sediment loads in the historic period.

Why don’t all water droplets fall to Earth?
mariarad [96]

Clouds are made of microscopic droplets of water ranging from 1 to 100 microns. Although, a water droplets total size, water's density is still much greater than air, and over time the earth's gravitational pull should cause the water droplet to fall.

Which best describes how latitude affects climate? Upper areas are cooler than others Equator is hotter with sun's rays Mountain
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Option A,  Upper areas are cooler than others

Explanation:

The relation between the latitude and climate i.e temperature is inversely proportional.  

Regions located at lower latitude are actually located at a distance far away from the equator. An equator receives the highest sunlight thus a region located at  a distance far away from the equator receives lower amount of sunlight due to which its temperature is a bit colder as compared to regions lying close to the equator.

Hence, option A is correct
