Question

Define lagoon, estuary,delta,tributary and tectonic plates?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Lagoon: a stretch of salt water separated from the sea by a low sandbank or coral reef.

Estuary: the tidal mouth of a large river, where the tide meets the stream.

Delta: a nearly flat plain of alluvial deposit between diverging branches of the mouth of a river, often, though not necessarily, triangular.

Tributary: a river or stream flowing into a larger river or lake.

Tectonic Plates: the lithosphere of the earth is divided into a small number of plates which float on and travel independently over the mantle and much of the earth's seismic activity occurs at the boundaries of these plates.
