River is the one of world highest levels of biodiversity. Running out to the South Africa there is the Amazon River and Amazon rainforest which are the 2nd largest river and the largest rainforest in the world. The Amazon River is also the largest drainage basin in the world. Because of its large dimensions‚ it also called “The River Sea”. As one of the most extreme place on the earth this research will tell you about insight information and specific data of the Amazon River. 103 words Geographical

(1995) also studied the chemical charactersitics of the surcface water in the Lake Titicaca drainage basin. The tributaries of Lake Titcaca deposit all thier sediments when entering the lake so the lake is not above TDS values. However‚ the rivers oftentimes are above 1000 mg/L TDS. There also did not appear to be any man made contamination in Lake

Also; the catchment area from which a river system obtains its water. Drainage basin largely ‘closed’ system- watershed – boundary of a water basin- generally follows a ridge of high land.

Continental drift The broad shape of Australia and its distinctive landforms have been influenced over long periods by earth movements that cause the breaking and bending of the Earth’s crust. Geographers call these movements tectonic processes. The Earth’s crust is made up of many individual moving pieces called tectonic plates. There are nine large plates and about a dozen smaller ones. The larger plates contain the continents and oceans. These plates ‘float’ on the dense layer of rock below

What is a Wetland ? Wetlands are habitats that fall somewhere on the environmental spectrum between land and water. Since wetlands lie at the interface of terrestrial and aquatic habitats‚ they possess a unique mixture of species‚ conditions‚ and interactions. As a result‚ wetlands are among our planet’s most diverse and varied habitats. Wetlands are defined by the soils‚ hydrology‚ and species that occur within them. Wetland soils‚ also known as hydric soils‚ are shaped by water. These soils
