What is peak rainfall mean?
The peak rainfall is the highest amount of rain in a place on a hydrograph.
Why the peak landslide activity occurs later than the peak rainfall activity?
Landslide activity happens when the hillside has become supersaturated from the peak rainfall activity and can no longer absorb any more water. The weight of the hillside, along with not enough anchoring trees or plant life to hold it, causes the slippage of the mud.
How do mountains create heavy rainfall?
A mountain in and of itself does not create heavy rainful. But what it does do, if the mountain is tall enough, is stop rain clouds from passing overtop of the mountain. The storm cloud, gets stuck, on the mountain peak, and will only pass when it has depleated most of its water.

All I know is that a Rock Rat mainly cares about the climb itself, I hope that that will help abit.
Is pikes peak a block fold or volcanic mountain?

How do you work out lag time on a hydrograph?
the time between the heaviest rainfall and the peak discharge
What does the lag time showon a hydrograph?
It shows us the time between the peak rainfall and peak discharge. Peak rainfall is the highest rain amount. Peak discharge is the highest the water level reaches in the river.
What is Rainfall Peak?
The peak rainfall is the highest amount of rain in a place on a hydrograph.
What is peak rainfall mean?
The peak rainfall is the highest amount of rain in a place on a hydrograph.
Is there always a lag between the center of the mass of a storm and the peak discharge of a stream?
Your question makes no sense, the center of mass of a storm is a spacial reference point and the peak discharge of a stream is a time. When rain falls on the ground, it takes time for the rain to accumulate and flow into a stream thus there is always a lage between the time of the rainfall and the build up of flow in the stream.
What is Peak discharge?

What is an attenuated peak in a storm hydrograph?
Firstly an attenuation is the reduction in the peak of a hydro-graph as it movesdownstream, resulting in a more broad, flat hydro-graph.Therefore the attenuated peak is the highest point before it attenuates.

How would the hydrograph of a large rainstorm change after urbanization of an area?

When was the peak rainfall?
500 years ago
How do you calculate peak flow?
Use those speacial reading graphs You should have a hydrograph to look at. Look at the curve on this graph, the highest point on this curve is the peak flow. It cannot be calculated, just read off a graph. Peak Flow = Tidal Volume x 60 / I-time
