Answer:

Flood Plain

Explanation:

The amount of water that circulates through a river, the flow, varies in time and space. These variations define the hydrological regime of a river. Temporary variations occur during or just after episodes of rains or thaws. Much of the water that falls in the catchment basin circulates underground, or feeds underground aquifers and takes much longer to feed the river flow and can reach it days, weeks or months after the rain generated by the runoff. The runoff that goes to the river is what increases its flow. In extreme cases, flooding can occur when the water supply is greater than the river's ability to evacuate it, overflowing and covering nearby flat areas or floodplain. In this distribution between the runoff water (or stream) that goes directly to the channel and water that infiltrates, feeds the aquifers and maintains the flow in the river in times without precipitation depends largely on the geomorphological integrity of the entire river system .

In natural dynamics, the river systems have their own space that has been modeled by the floodwaters and is made up of the channel, the banks and the plain or flood plain. Its dimensions have been defined by the main flood events that this river has attended. Floodplains are wide and flat areas built by the river in its floodwaters. They are flooded frequently and are covered by sediments and nutrients that fertilize the soil act as natural reservoirs, reducing the speed of the downstream current. They store floodwater and rainfall in aquifers (underground area).

Vikentia [17]

From ideal gas law, PV=nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume of the container, n is number of moles, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

Hence, T=\frac{PV}{nR}=\frac{92*10^{3}*2.0*10^{-3}}{2*3.314}

T= 110.65 k

Kinetic Energy = \frac{3}{2}KT=\frac{3}{2}  (1.38*10^{-23})(110.65)

K.E=  2.2*10^{-21}J

<h3>What is a kinetic energy? </h3>

The energy an object has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy.

A force must be applied to an object in order to accelerate it. We must put in effort in order to apply a force. After the work is finished, energy is transferred to the item, which then moves at a new, constant speed. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that is transferred and is dependent on the mass and speed attained.

Kinetic energy can be converted into other types of energy and transported between objects. A flying squirrel may run into a chipmunk that is standing still, for instance. Some of the squirrel's initial kinetic energy may have been transferred to the chipmunk or changed into another kind of energy after the collision.
