Answer:C) either runs off to form rivers or filters down into underground aquifers

Explanation:Precipitation is any form of moisture which falls to the earth. This includes rain, snow, hail and sleet. Precipitation occurs when water vapour cools. When the air reaches saturation point (also known as condensation point and dew point) the water vapour condenses and forms tiny droplets of water.

In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity from clouds. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, ice pellets, graupel and hail. ... Short, intense periods of rain in scattered locations are called "showers."

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.
