The Mississippi River in the U.S has about 56% of the drainage area of The Amazon River Basin in South America but the stream di

scharge (flow) is only 8% of the Amazon stream discharge. Why is drainage area not an important factor in determining stream discharge?

The drainage area is not an important factor in determining stream discharge because it is not the main force behind stream discharge.

<h3>What is a stream discharge?</h3>

This refers to the volume of water that flows through a stream or river per unit of time.

This discharge are usually calculated by using the measurements of the stream’s velocity, its depth and width

The factors that affect stream discharge includes:

  • velocity of the water because the faster the water, the more the discharge
  • the width & depth of the river

What is the outer boundary of the solar system?
Rom4ik [11]

Jupiter has more mass than all other planets in the solar system combined. It helps protect Earth by steering comets either towards the sun or ejecting them to the outer reaches of the solar system or beyond. Jupiter has dozens of moons orbiting it, one of which, Europa, is thought to have a sub-surface liquid salt water ocean. It therefore may possibly harbor life as heat and water, the two ingredients required for life on Earth as we know it, are seemingly present below the moon’s surface.

Saturn has intrigued man for centuries, especially since the invention of the telescope when the Saturn’s grand rings were observed for the first time. Much like Jupiter, Saturn has many dozens of moons, one of which, Enceladus, could provide a foot-hold for life to form. Observations by the Cassini spacecraft revealed Enceladus’ to have tenuous geyser and therefore heated liquid must be lurking below the surface. Water and energy are essential to all forms of life on Earth and these two constituents are what scientists treasure most in the search for life beyond our planet.

Uranus - Over the 2006–2016 timeframe, there are no strategic missions planned to Uranus and only one spacecraft, the extremely productive Voyager II, has ever visited the distant planet. Ultimately, deep-entry probes into Uranus will be necessary in order to understand its composition and compare it to that of the other “water giant,” Neptune. Neptune poses a number of important questions regarding how giant planets form and what truncates the formation of multiple giant planets in a planetary system. Residing on the edge of our planetary system, Neptune may hold, deep in its interior, chemical clues concerning the nature of the rocky and icy debris that formed the giant planets. A comprehensive study of Neptune, and its moon Triton, is considered a priority for the third decade by the Solar System Exploration roadmap team.

Pluto was redefined in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) as a “dwarf Planet.”  Throughout the scientific community there is still much debate about this definition and many organizations have yet to weigh in.  Pluto shares a region of its orbit with a collection of similar icy bodies called Kuiper Belt Objects (KBO’s). The Kuiper Belt is believed to represent the best available record of the original interstellar materials that formed the solar nebula. This region is also the birthplace of the short-period comets. Pluto’s orbit also crosses inside that of Neptune’s which renders Pluto a member of the Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) class. Pluto’s moon, Charon, was discovered in 1978, but more recently in 2005, two moonlets, Nix and Hydra were revealed in telescopic surveys. The Pluto System is unique and the New Horizons mission will be the first spacecraft to glimpse these distant icy bodies when it encounters the system in 2015. Hope This Helps!!

Why should Canada sell its fresh water
Annette [7]
As such, Canada should arguably treat water the same way it treats oil or wheat — as a valuable commodity on the international market. As climate change increases water variability in many parts of the world, Canada will face increasing economic and political pressures to commoditize its abundant freshwater supplies.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

What are the two main functions of sclereids or stone cells and are sclereids alive at maturity?
Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation:

A sclereid is a type of sclerenchyma (a plant cell type characterized by having a thick and lignified cell wall) of varying shapes that are typically shorter, with an extremely thick cell wall and <em>whose function is to provide strength and support primarily. Sclereids are also responsible for the gritty texture of pears and guavas. </em>

<em>They are non-living at maturity as they don't require further maintenance, but they maintain the structure.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
