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 are rock features such as the sculpted pinnacles seen in Bryce Canyon National Park he result of

differential weathering

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

Rockfall.

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

Pedalfer

Is it true the rate of soil formation is unaffected by the type of rock being weathered

No

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

mass movement

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

slide
