    • FALSE

    Correct Answer

In Botswana, it forms the Okavango Delta, which is a vast inland delta and a unique ecosystem that supports a diverse range of wildlife.

    An escarpment is the steep edge of a river or stream.

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. FALSE
    Explanation
    An escarpment is not the steep edge of a river or stream. It is actually a long, steep slope or cliff that separates two areas of different elevations. Escarpments can be found in various geological formations, such as mountains or plateaus, and are often formed by erosion or tectonic activity. They are not directly related to rivers or streams.
