Geography
1 answer:
storchak [24]3 years ago
4 0
Rivers are very important in the United States economy because they transport goods for trade across the country. This also can transport people via ship, allowing those in the workforce to travel long distances for job opportunities. Rivers are great for agriculture because of the nearby water source and nutrients that the water may carry. They can fuel lumber mills and be used as a port for fishermen.

Tema [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h3>Explanation:</h3><h3>Balanced forces/Resultant force/ Newton's first law/law of inertia:</h3>

It says that each article will remain in its state of rest or similar motion in a straight line except a resultant force works on it. It is known as the law of inertia.

The inertia of the body is the hesitation of the target to alter its state of peace or movement.

The inertia of an article depends on its size. The greater the body, the greater the inertia. It shows it is difficult to start moving, stop, slow down, speed up or change direction. Force is required to overcome inertia.

A threatened species is in danger of extinction in the immediate future.<br><br> true or false
MissTica

The correct answer is - False.

When a species is classified as threatened, it means that that particular species is expected to become endangered, not extinct. The species that are threatened, are species that have experienced a significant drop in numbers in recent times, but still have enough individuals to be able to survive and keep the species going. But if the situation starts to become worse and the species continues to lose numbers, than the species will fall into the category of endangered species, which will mean that it is expected that the species will die out in the very near future.

Suppose that you develop the following hypothesis: Some floods in rivers have enough energy to carry large clasts, i.e., particl
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

b. stratigraphically alternating sequences of sandstones, conglomerates, and shales.

Explanation:

It is unlikely that one would find igneous rocks such as basalt and granite in fluvial environments. Coal is also not usually found in fluvial environments. Limestone prefers shallow and calm waters so would not be moved by water normally. This therefore invalidates options a, c, d, e and f.

For the hypothesis to be true, one would need to find conglomerates as these contain large clasts and are present in fluvial environments. Alternating sequences involving conglomerates and sandstones would indeed show that that some floods were able to carry large clasts.

How did the geography of Srivijaya affect its cultural and religious development?
Nookie1986 [14]

Srivijaya was a Malay city state located in the island of Sumatra in what is now the country of Indonesia. Srivijaya became a rich cultural and trading center, and a regional hegemon due to being surrounded by the sea, and its close proximity to Sunda and Malacca Straits. The straits were important  because much of the trading ships carrying spices, wood, and other raw materials passes through them. Srivijaya was trading with China and controlled the straits, making the state very prosperous and powerful. The state has Buddhism as its main religion, and with its power and richness, established several pilgrimages and shrines in the city too.
