I understand this question to mean "local diversity of human culture" (and not, for example, local biological diversity).
Local diversity can mean for example different food - different areas have their own food specialties).
It can also mean the customs and religions - for example how people eat (fork, chopstics, hands, etc).
Another example is the clothing, for example in India many women wear Saris, while in Europe women wear skirts or trousers.
<u>Answer:</u>
A "small mountain stream" will have a<u> greater</u> competence and a <u>lower</u> capacity than the "Mississippi River".
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Streams flowing down a mountain tend to have more kinetic energy and momentum than the rivers flowing through plains.
- This increases their competence but at the same time, drains their capacity to convert themselves into larger streams.
- Most of the Mississippi River's course happens to pass through plains.
- That is why the Mississippi River has less competence yet more capacity than a "small mountain stream".
The difference between human geography and physical geography is human geography is how humans impacted the earth and physical geography is looking at the natural processes of the earth. A similarly is that both are looking at how the earth is effected.
