☆☆☆☆☆As waves approach the shore, interaction with the sea floor slows the waves down and the crests of the waves bunch up. They increase in height as the energy in each wave compresses into a shorter horizontal distance, but the period of the wave does not change. Eventually, the waves break.
Young rivers are straighter and more narrow. Old rivers have many meanders (bends in a rivers channel), and young rivers do not they are fast and have a high gradient, unlike old rivers which are slow and have a shallow gradient.
Uneven solar heating
Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.
evaporation
Gravity
Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.
The epipelagic ocean zone is most habitable.
The alluvial silt that covers the land during flooding increases its fertility. This is in addition to the ready supply of fresh water required for any large societal group.
Marsh
yeah
The sunlight zone. Most animal and plant life use the sun to stay alive. The most plant life is found here. There is life in all zones in the ocean but the sunlight zone has the most.
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceangraphers can describe the?
Ground water
