If a stream's discharge decreases how does it affect the stream's capacity
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.
By what process do streams and rivers move material
Weathering <Lies
Erosion!(:
Fertilizer runoff from a farm is an example of what
nonpoint source pollution
What are the three main types of glacial erosion
The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and
freeze thaw.
Why are limiting development on floodplains effective
Limiting development on floodplains is effective in controlling
floods because this allows floodplains to absorb floodwaters

If the steep face of a sand dune is on the southeast side of a dune then the prevailing wind in this area is from the
Glacial striations gouged into bedrock allow geologists to understand what
the direction of glacial movement 🥶
In the desert environment the chemical weathering of rocks is generally reduced because
moisture is lacking and organic acids are scarce ;D
What mass movement involves the sudden movement of a block of material along a flat inclined surface is called a
