Explanation / Answer

this common sediment is very porous but not very permeable is clay.

a regional compression can cause folding

example of a features that can form a base level is lake. As  lake is the base level for tributary streams.

A place that receives less than 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain per year is called a desert.
