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

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

For seismograph A, the lag time is
5 minutes (difference between 6:10 and 6:05)
For seismograph B, the lag time is
15 minutes (difference between 6:25 and 6:10)

Assuming that earthquake waves have a constant velocity during the earthquake, then the seismograph with the shorter lag time is closer to the epicenter. So,
Seismograph is closes to the earthquake's epicenter
