Gradient = vertical difference in elevation / horizontal distance. So, to calculate the average gradient along the stream from the red dot at B to the red dot at A (or vice versa) two facts need to be known: The difference in elevation between B and A. The distance along the stream from B to A.

Answer:

Stream gradient=difference in height/elevation÷river/horizontal distance

Explanation:

The stream gradient is defined as the ratio between the elevation difference and the river distance.  

<u>Stream gradient</u>=<u>difference in height/elevation÷river/horizontal distance</u>

The rate of of discharge is directly proportional to the slope angle. This means that steeper the slope, the more is the discharge. It is generally calculated in terms of m/km or ft/miles. These stream gradients are prominent in the topographic maps as the elevations are provided in it.

An inactively of muscle will cause local temperature to decrease and will produce less CO₂. Cold temperature and higher pH cause
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Cold temperature and higher pH cause the oxygen-hemoglobin saturation curve to shift high reflecting that hemoglobin releases more oxygen.

Explanation:

In higher pH i. e. neutral or alkaline and low body temperature, the hemoglobin molecule attach more oxygen to their active sites. When the temperature of the blood increases, the hemoglobin stops or reduces the binding of oxygen to their active sites and lower the saturation level.    Oxygen-hemoglobin saturation level refers to the amount of oxygen binds with the hemoglobin. This saturation decreases with increase in temperature and lower pH while saturation level increases when the temperature of the body is lower and pH is high.
