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:
Option (D)
Explanation:
Historical geology usually refers to the study of the changes and the variation that occurs at or below the surface of the earth. In simple words, it mainly involves the study of past events. This includes the variation and evolution of different life forms that existed on earth over a time of about 3.8 billion years until the present. It basically comprises the important part of geology namely Paleoclimatology, Paleontology and Paleoseismology. This historical geology is also known as Paleogeology.
Thus, historical geology involves the biological changes that occur over a definite time.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
The two biggest aspects of the global climate change that impact the forests are the temperature and the precipitation. The temperature increases globally, this affects the forests because the trees are adapted on certain temperatures, but now are faced with rapid increase of the same, and the time for adaptation is much shortened, so lots of forests degrade or gradually die off. The precipitation is a crucial factor for all plants. The forests are on places where there's sufficient amount of precipitation, but now lots of regions in the world are suffering from reduced precipitation, this also causes the degrading and dying off of the forests.
