Term1/21

If a stream's discharge decreases how does it affect the stream's capacity

Definition1/21

The capacity of a stream is the maximum load it can carry. Capacity is directly related to a stream's discharge. The greater the volume of water in a stream is, the greater its capacity is for carrying sediment. So if a stream's discharge decreases, the stream's capacity also decreases.

Term1/21

What is a thick ice mass that forms over the land from the accumulation compaction and recrystallization of snow is a

Definition1/21

Glacier.

Term1/21

A river's discharge is generally greatest

Definition1/21

A river discharge is usually greatest at a given fall.

What is the glacial budget

the difference between glacial accumulation and glacial waste

Term1/21

What are the three main types of glacial erosion

Definition1/21

The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.

Term1/21

Why are limiting development on floodplains effective

Definition1/21

Limiting development on floodplains is effective in controlling floods because this allows floodplains to absorb floodwaters without harm to structures
