Answer from: ari9425

1. cataract : large waterfall

2. delta : broad, triangular shaped land at the mouth of a river

3. drought: water shortage

4. escarpment : steep slope or cliff

5. tributary : stream that flows into a larger stream or body of water

6. veldt : grassland plateau

Explanation:

A cataract is a shallow and long waterfall that is an example of the Nile river, where the water is broken by many small boulders that are cutting out from the river beds. A delta is a triangular-shaped formation of the river sediments deposited in the river as it becomes old and cannot carry the load it deposits them forming a bird for etc near the mouth of the river. A draught is a type of water scarcity or shortage and occurs in the areas of prolonged dryness. An escarpment is a sharp or steep slope or the long cliff that results from the faulting or erosion and is separated by the different elevations. A tributary is a stream or river that flows or joins the larger river system and is headed by the body of water. A veldt is a type of grassland plateau of the southern African continent.

Answer from: Quest

there's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing central america, and some of them are:

- they were seen as gods;

at the beginning, the spanish settlers were seen by the natives as gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

- possessed superior weaponry;

the spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

- made cleaver alliances;

they used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

- brought diseases;

the native people were not immune to certain diseases the europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for european standards.
