a rural kansas watershed that is ungauged has an area of 475 acres and a main channel length of 6870 feet with an average slope

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$\mathbf{Q_p =682 \ \ ft^3/s}$

Explanation:

Given that:

Area = 475 acres

The length of the channel (L) = 6870 feet

The average water shield slope (S) = 100 feet/mile

Since; 1 mile = 5280 feet

Burst duration D = 15 min

∴

100 feet/mile = 100/5280

The average water shield slope (S) = 5/264

Using hydrograph method:

The time of concentration $t_c = 0.0078L^{0.77} S^{-0.385}$

where;

L = 6870

S = 5/264

$t_c = 0.0078(6870)^{0.77} (\dfrac{5}{264})^{-0.385}$

$t_c =32.34$ min

Since 60 min = 1 hour

32.34 min will be (32.34*1)/60

= 0.539 hour

Lag time $T_l = 0.67\times t_c$

$T_l = 0.67\times 32.34$

$T_l = 21.6678\ min$

The time to peak i.e

$T_p = \dfrac{D}{2}+ T_L \\ \\ T_p = \dfrac{15}{2}+ 21.6678 \\ \\ T_p = 29.168 \ min$

$T_r = \dfrac{T_p}{5.5} \\ \\ T_r = \dfrac{29.1678}{5.5} \\ \\ T_r = 5.30 \ min$

Since D = 15 min is not equal to $T_r$ , then we hydrograph apart from $T_r$ duration lag time.

Then;

$T_p \ ' = T_p + \dfrac{D-t_r}{4} \\ \\ T_p \ ' = 29.168 + \dfrac{15-5.30}{4} \\ \\ T_p \ ' = 31.593$

Now, we need to determine the peak discharge $Q_p$ by using the formula:

$Q_p = \dfrac{484 \times A}{T_p \ '}$

where

484 = peak factor

Recall that A = 475 acres, to miles, we have:

A = 0.7422 mile²

$T_p \ ' = 31.593/60$

∴

$Q_p = \dfrac{484 \times 0.7422}{\dfrac{31.593}{60}}$

$\mathbf{Q_p =682 \ \ ft^3/s}$

The layer of the earth that forms the earth's plates is the _____.

harkovskaia [24]

The options for the question are:
a) Core
b) Mantle
c) Asthenosphere
d) Lithosphere

The correct answer is Lithosphere. Lithosphere is defined as hard outer part of the Earth that contains Crust and somewhat upper portion of the Mantle. The Earth's crust is made up Tectonic Plates which are in constant state of motion. So from the given options, Lithosphere is the correct answer.
