I agree with the rest of Writeacher's answers.
1) The branches of rivers within a delta are called distributaries. To get the answer to this question, you can simply recall the term or concept of a delta and its associated features.
2) All of the following are conditions that must be met for deltas to form, except a steep drop in the sea floor. To answer this question, you need to consider the necessary conditions for delta formation, including areas protected from strong ocean currents, shallow seas, and substantial river load reaching the sea. Eliminate the option that does not fit this set of conditions.
3) One of the most recent benefits of the mountainous region of some Caribbean islands, with their numerous rivers, is eco-tourism and recreation. To answer this question, you can recall the potential benefits of mountainous regions and river systems, and then choose the option that best aligns with those benefits.
4) The wide looping curves which are formed along parts of the courses of some rivers are called meanders. To answer this question, you need to recall the characteristic features of river courses and identify the term that matches the description.
5) Natural banks which are sometimes built up by a river along the edges of its channel are called levees. To answer this question, you need to consider the different types of banks or landforms associated with rivers, and select the term that fits the given description.
6) A delta is a fan-shaped piece of land at the mouth of a river, resulting from deposition by the river. To answer this question, you can recall the definition and characteristics of a delta, and choose the option that matches the description.
7) Swamps cause deferred junctions on rivers' flood plains. To answer this question, you need to identify the feature or phenomenon that causes deferred junctions on river flood plains. Recall the characteristics of different landforms associated with rivers and eliminate options that do not fit this description.
8) The correct sequence in the formation of an ox-bow lake is meander, cut-off, narrow neck of meander, flooding. To answer this question, you need to understand the process involved in the formation of an ox-bow lake and order the steps accordingly.
9) Residents continue to live on the floodplain of rivers because there is ease of communication on flat lands and there is less need for irrigation of fields. To answer this question, you need to consider the reasons why people choose to live on floodplains and select the options that align with those reasons.
10) Rivers in the Caribbean are used for all of the following except irrigation. To answer this question, you need to consider the different uses of rivers in the Caribbean region and select the option that does not fit.
11) The upper course of a river has the best potential for communication gaps. To answer this question, you need to evaluate the potential uses of the upper course of a river and select the option that fits the given description.
12) The feature shown by contours is a ridge. To answer this question, you need to understand the characteristics and purposes of contour lines on maps, and choose the feature that matches the given description.
