  2. To address the punctuation in the provided paragraph effectively, let’s break it down step-by-step:Original paragraph:"Sara comió enchiladas verdes y fresas con crema; Gael, pollo en mole y pastel de chocolate.

    To address the punctuation in the provided paragraph effectively, let’s break it down step-by-step:

    Original paragraph:

    “Sara comió enchiladas verdes y fresas con crema; Gael, pollo en mole y pastel de chocolate. Mientras tanto el vendedor colocó la vajilla, los cubiertos, las tazas de café, las servilletas, el azúcar, la sal y la pimienta. Sara y Gael platicaban sobre si irían de vacaciones a Francia, Italia o España, o se quedarían en casa.”

    Corrections:
    1. The semicolon after “fresas con crema” can be replaced with a period to separate the two complete sentences, improving clarity:

    – “Sara comió enchiladas verdes y fresas con crema. Gael, pollo en mole y pastel de chocolate.”

    2. A comma is needed after “Mientras tanto” for correct punctuation:

    – “Mientras tanto, el vendedor colocó la vajilla…”

    3. The list is punctuated correctly with commas; however, ensure that the final item in a list can also use ‘and’ for smoother reading:

    – “…las servilletas, el azúcar, la sal y la pimienta.”

    Revised paragraph:

    “Sara comió enchiladas verdes y fresas con crema. Gael, pollo en mole y pastel de chocolate. Mientras tanto, el vendedor colocó la vajilla, los cubiertos, las tazas de café

    1. 2. En 2001 un huracán llegó a la Bahía de La Paz, en Baja California Sur, desplazando una enorme duna de arena que bloqueó la única vía de salida de agua de mar que tenía un bosque de manglar.
    2. 1. Este se encontraba en un sitio conocido como El Mogote, frente a la ciudad de La Paz, donde había dos pequeñas lagunas en una superficie de cerca de 10 hectáreas.
    3. 4. Al romperse el flujo del agua las lagunas se secaron y se formó en su lecho una gruesa costra de sal.

    To provide a correct answer, I would need more context from the selection. However, based on the options given, if the passage focuses on the behavior or intelligence of dolphins in a narrative form, then:

    B. to entertain the reader with a story about two smart dolphins could be a suitable answer if the content is more story-based.

    If the goal was to inform or provide a warning, then options A or C could be appropriate based on that context.

    The type of erosion described in number 4 is chemical erosion (or chemical weathering).

    This occurs when certain types of rocks, such as limestone, dissolve in water due to chemical reactions, particularly when the water is slightly acidic (often due to dissolved carbon dioxide). This process contributes to shaping the riverbed and altering the landscape over time.

    The correct answer is C) Nero was known for his fondness of throwing lavish parties and serving unique food.

    Short Explanation: Nero, the Roman emperor, was famous for his extravagant lifestyle and opulent feasts. He reportedly enjoyed serving unusual and elaborate dishes at his banquets, which may have contributed to the belief that he was involved in the creation of unique foods like ice cream. This lavish reputation makes it plausible for people to associate him with the invention of such a delightful treat.

    The type of river erosion described as number 1 is “Hydraulic Action.”

    Explanation: Hydraulic action occurs when the force of moving water exerts pressure on the rocks and sediments along the riverbed, causing some rock particles to be dislodged and broken away. This process contributes to the overall erosion of the riverbed and bank. If you have more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

    The type of fluvial erosion described in your question is called “abrasion.”

    Explanation: Abrasion occurs when the material carried by the river, such as rocks and sediment, collides with the river bed and banks, effectively wearing them away. This process can deepen and widen the river channel over time as the movement of these materials scrapes against the surfaces they come into contact with.

  48. Vertical erosion makes a river deeper. This type of erosion occurs when the river cuts down into the bedrock or soil, deepening its channel over time. As the water flows, it wears away the material at the bottom more effectively than at the sides, leading to a deeper riverbed. Horizontal erosion, onRead more

    Vertical erosion makes a river deeper. This type of erosion occurs when the river cuts down into the bedrock or soil, deepening its channel over time. As the water flows, it wears away the material at the bottom more effectively than at the sides, leading to a deeper riverbed. Horizontal erosion, on the other hand, widens the river but does not significantly increase its depth.

    The word that completes the sentence is “transport.”

    Explanation: In fluvial (river) environments, “transport” refers to the various methods by which sediment is moved through the river system. Traction involves larger particles rolling along the riverbed, saltation involves smaller particles bouncing along the riverbed, suspension involves fine particles that are carried within the water column, and solution describes the process where minerals dissolve in the water. Each of these processes plays a crucial role in shaping river landscapes.

    Hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition, and solution are all types of erosion.

    Explanation: These processes describe how water and sediment interact with the riverbed and banks. Hydraulic action refers to the force of moving water breaking rocks apart, while abrasion involves particles scraping against the riverbed, wearing it down. Attrition occurs when rocks and stones collide with each other, becoming smaller and more rounded. Solution involves the chemical dissolution of soluble rocks in water. Together, these processes contribute to the shaping and deepening of river channels.
