The Rio Grande river flows through the South Texas Plains ecoregion of Texas. The river is a major source of water for cities and farms in the area. Sometimes, so much of the Rio Grande's water is used that the river does not reach the Gulf of Mexico. How does the loss of river water affect ocean plants near the mouth of the river? A. Less sediment is deposited in the soil. B. The ocean plants cause more weathering. C. More algae grows and competes for resources. D. The slow water causes more erosion.

A. Less sediment is deposited in the soil.

Explanation:

Less sediment is deposited in the soil if there is less amount of water receives by the ocean plants because river water brings minerals with them from passing through the mountains to the ocean. These sediments brings nutrients which are necessary for the ocean plants for their growth and development so we can say that less sediments are deposited in the soil of ocean plants due to less river water.

the answer would be d : p

answer and explanation;

volcanic rocks are igneous rocks which form from lava, molten rock which has been thrust out of a volcano onto the surface of a rocky body such as an asteroid, planet, or dwarf planet.  

plutonic rocks are igneous rocks which form from subterranean chambers of molten rock or magma. plutonic rocks make up the base of continental crust as well as oceanic crust. their slow rate of formation causes them to be coarse grained since there is plenty of time for large crystals to form before the magma solidifies into rock.

the textural difference is that plutonic rocks are more coarse grained than volcanic rocks. plutonic rocks are coarse grained while volcanic are fine grained ; glassey or fragmental. since fine and coarse are adjectives the decision as to whether a rock is fine or coarse grained is generally made on the bases of whether or not the individual crystals can be seen in most if the rock.
