Answer:

steepest near the headwaters.

Explanation:

Stream Gradient is the slope-drop over distance. <u>Stream gradient can be defined as a drop of stream in vertical line and falling over a horizontal distance</u>.

The steam gradient, if we examine the longitudinal profile of a typical water, will be steepest near the headwaters. The stream gradient is steepest near the headwaters whereas gentle at the mouth. After the stream reaches at the mouth it gets discharged into another water body.

So, the correct answer is that the stream gradient is steepest near the headwaters.

Answer: (There is no picture added. but i will try to answer)

At the border of tectonic plates, recentearthquakes,landslides, volcanic activity, certain types of weather, and—possibly—near-earth objects (e.g., asteroids, comets) colliding with or exploding above the ocean.

Explanation: Places like Indonesia or japan are located at borders of one or two tectonic plates. The crust is not a whole, it is divided. These tectonic plates move at high speed, bumping eacother, causing small tremors that we cannot feel (earthquake). But sometimes,They crash into eachother, folding over another. This causes big earthquakes. When earthquake occurs, tsunamis are caused. There are high chances of tsunamis after very big earthquakes. When  objects like asteroids fall into the ocean (rarley happens) They create a big force causing tsunamis. The weather can also affect in bringing tsunamis . eg: A strong gale or storm.

Why is a world aeronautical chart (WAC) necessary when flying long distances?
lutik1710 [3]

When flying long distances, a world aeronautical chart (WAC) for the determination of height, position,alternative landing areas,airspace boundaries and radio frequencies.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For those aircraft flying at higher distances, WAC is used for the purpose of navigation. This chart is very helpful in finding current position, alternate routes, safe heights for flying,etc. It also helps in choosing the best alternate route for reaching the desired location. It provides the person flying at higher distances with that of radio frequencies and airspace boundary.

Strategic planning can be done for flights with this chart. Using this chart we can view the whole area of flying. There is a revision of these charts every year but for the areas like  Mexico and Caribbean since the revision takes place once in 2 years.
