Answer:
<em>likely to decrease downstream in arid regions and increase downstream in temperate regions</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Arid regions are is a region with a severe lack of water, usually to the extent that affect the organisms living in the region. Arid regions are characterized by a very low depth of rainfall per year. Temperate region on the other hand experience more distinct seasonal change and wider temperature change. Temperate regions get a fairly large amount of rainfall per year.
In arid regions, the soil is very dry, and the rate of infiltration and percolation is high relative to the amount of rainfall available. The effect is that more water is infiltrated into the soil as you move downstream, leading to a decrease in the discharge of a stream as you move downstream. Most temperate region have soils that are usually saturated in the peak of the rainfall season, leading to a greater stream discharge as you move downstream.
A compound. For example, hydrogen and oxygen atoms form water.
Are you referring to the fact that water is a compound while hydrogen is an element? If I'm wrong just comment and clarify and I can edit it, I don't even know what kind of unit you're in. :)
As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg
The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s
When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.
We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.
The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -
![Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Kinetic%5C%20energy%5C%20%5BK.E%5D%5C%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20mv%5E2)
![=\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D50kg%2A%5B1000%5C%20m%2Fs%5D%5E2)

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.
Yes. Even greater. Air resistance or drag becomes harder the faster an object goes. This is why when cars reach their max speed they don't accelerate as fast, because they are pushing harder against the wind. If I take a tennis ball and shoot it down a bottomless pit, a 400 kph, the drag will slow the ball down till it reaches terminal velocity.
