How does a stream typically change as it flows from its headwaters to its mouth?

Geography
1 answer:
Marrrta [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<u>D. Gradient decreases, discharge increases.</u>

Explanation:

  • As steam is a body of water that carries rock particles and dissolved ions,  discharge is measured in terms of volume/time (m3/sec).  So when a river discharges its flow from a headwater to its mouth the velocity increases in the downstream direction.
  • Thus the river load-carrying capacity increases downwards and so does the discharge rate. The discharge rate can also be influenced due to the rainfall patterns, volume of water and velocity of flow.
  • Rock types also impact the streamflow if it is a porous rock, the surface will absorb more of moisture content and comparative more will be the water penetration towers the mouth of the flow.

List an example on Earth of the feature faulting creates.
NikAS [45]
Normal fault - a dip-slip fault in which the block above the fault has moved downward relative to the block below. This type of faulting occurs in response to extension and is often observed in the Western United States Basin and Range Province and along oceanic ridge systems.

thrust fault - a dip-slip fault in which the upper block, above the fault plane, moves up and over the lower block. This type of faulting is common in areas of compression, such as regions where one plate is being subducted under another as in Japan. When the dip angle is shallow, a reverse fault is often described as a thrust fault.

strike-slip fault - a fault on which the two blocks slide past one another. The San Andreas Fault is an example of a right lateral fault.

Strike-slip Fault Animation

A left-lateral strike-slip fault is one on which the displacement of the far block is to the left when viewed from either side.

A right-lateral strike-slip fault is one on which the displacement of the far block is to the right when viewed from either side.

How do headlands and bays form
Kryger [21]
Headlands are known as high attacking waves, shores that are rocky, forceful erosion and vertical sea cliffs. They are created when the sea outbreaks on a coastline comprising of a group of hard and soft rocks. They are surrounded by water. <span>Bays on the other hand, are created when there is less resistance of eroding soft rocks (e.g. sands and clays) forming a group of stronger rocks (e.g. granite, chalk, limestone) into a headland. They are surrounded by a land.</span>
