What characteristic defines riverine areas?

Located near the ocean
Have readily identifiable channels
Are typically dry
Feature numerous lakes

The correct answer is: Have readily identifiable channels

Riverine areas are defined by having readily identifiable channels. This means that rivers and streams flow through these areas, creating distinct waterways that can be easily identified. Option A is incorrect because being located near the ocean is not a defining characteristic of riverine areas. While some riverine areas may be located near the ocean, this is not a defining feature. Option C is also incorrect because riverine areas can often be quite wet due to the presence of rivers and streams. Option D is incorrect because riverine areas may have some lakes, but the defining feature is the presence of rivers and streams.
