notsponge [240]

Answer:

A stream in a bedrock valley located 5000 feet above ultimate base level that is draining a mountainous region in the headwater of a stream system would have a _____.

high gradient, and a narrow and shallow channel with no floodplain

Explanation:

A bedrock valley has no alluvium mantling the bedrock over which it flows. Alluvium (consists of sand, gravel, silt, clay, and gravel, as well as other organic matters) mantlings or coverings are usually developed in the lower part of the river with the formation of floodplains and deltas. They may also be deposited at lakes or river banks. Headwater streams deliver nutrients and other organic materials (e.g. fallen leaves) to downstream regions to sustain downstream aquatic life.

Choose a good projection/coordinate system from the predefined coordinate systems in ArcGIS for maps of the following areas. Exp

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Below is a good projection/coordinate system from the predefined coordinate systems in ArcGIS for maps of the following areas:

California - nad 83 utm zone 10n

New Jersey - nad 83 utm zone 18n

Nevada – nad 83 utm zone 11n

New Hampshire - Nad 83 utm zone 19n

England – epsg 2770

Antartica – epsg 3031

Explanation:

With respect to projection, California has a longitude and latitude that is in line with that of Humboldt country.

Thus, California - nad 83 utm zone 10n

With respect to projection, New Jersey follow the nad 83.

Thus, New Jersey - nad 83 utm zone 18n

Different projections are used for the Nevada, rather than that of the state planes.

Nevada – nad 83 utm zone 11n

With respect to projection, New Hampshire has a longitude and latitude that is in line with that of Grafton country

Thus, New Hampshire - Nad 83 utm zone 19n

England completely depends up on the pointed shaped.

Thus, England – epsg 2770

Antartica exists in latitude wise high zone.

Antartica – epsg 3031
