The Nile is the longest river and it is 6853 km long. It's basin is through 10 countries: Burundi, DR Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt.
Answer:
<u>D. Gradient decreases, discharge increases.</u>
Explanation:
- As steam is a body of water that carries rock particles and dissolved ions, discharge is measured in terms of volume/time (m3/sec). So when a river discharges its flow from a headwater to its mouth the velocity increases in the downstream direction.
- Thus the river load-carrying capacity increases downwards and so does the discharge rate. The discharge rate can also be influenced due to the rainfall patterns, volume of water and velocity of flow.
- Rock types also impact the streamflow if it is a porous rock, the surface will absorb more of moisture content and comparative more will be the water penetration towers the mouth of the flow.
Answer:
-high
-low
-stronger
Explanation:
A lot of factors determines the generation and movement of wind. However, winds tend to blow from areas of high atmospheric pressure to areas of low atmospheric pressure, and the greater the difference between the high and the low pressure areas, the stronger the wind.
These factors include Coriolis effect, trade winds, energy from the sun, differences in local temperature.
