Other factors that can change the length of a river include cycles of erosion and flooding, dams, levees, and channelization. In addition, the length of meanders can change significantly over time due to natural or artificial cutoffs, when a new channel cuts across a narrow strip of land, bypassing a large river bend.
Uber is a ride-sharing service that utilizes a location-based mobile application to link passengers to drivers. Through the Uber app, passengers select their pickup location, destination and vehicle. After submission, Uber provides the driverâs name and license-plate number along with an estimated collection time.
To passengers, Uber is essentially synonymous with taxis, and to drivers, itâs basically a referral service. The Android, iOS and Windows Phone app connects riders with drivers using their phone's GPS capabilities, letting both parties know one another's location and removing the question of when the ride will actually arrive.
