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.
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
without harm to structures

What do the solid particles of a stream include
bed load and suspended load
What kind of material is found in the C horizon of a soil profile
Partially weathered parent material is found in the C horizon of
a soil profile.
What type of mass movement occurs when rock fragments or rocks fall freely through the air
Pedalfer soils would most likely be found
In the eastern half of the united states.
What soil has the characteristic of the humid eastern US
Is it true the rate of soil formation is unaffected by the type of rock being weathered
Glacial striations gouged into bedrock allow geologists to understand what
the direction of glacial movement 🥶
A stream valley landform is the most common result of what
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is
small.
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
