B. A mudflat
C. A distributary channel
D. A deltaic lobe
Question 2
Analyze the relationship between the formation of a delta and the sediment load of a river. Consider the factors that influence the development of a delta and the types of deltas that can form.
A. A delta forms when a river deposits sediment at its mouth, creating a landform that juts out into a body of water.
B. The sediment load of a river influences the type of delta that forms, with higher sediment loads resulting in more complex deltas.
C. The development of a delta is influenced by factors such as the river's discharge, sediment load, and the surrounding topography.
D. A delta can form in a variety of settings, including at the mouth of a river, where it meets the ocean or a lake.

A. As the amount of fertilizer applied increases, the crop has more nutrients to grow and produce more yield
B. As the amount of fertilizer applied increases, the crop has more water to absorb and produce more yield
C. As the amount of fertilizer applied increases, the crop has more sunlight to absorb and produce more yield
D. As the amount of fertilizer applied increases, the crop has more pests to attract and produce more yield

B. As population density increases, people have more access to education and healthcare, leading to higher per capita income
C. As population density increases, people have more opportunities to engage in subsistence farming, leading to lower per capita income
