Greeley [361]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u>

A "small mountain stream" will have a<u> greater</u> competence and a <u>lower</u> capacity than the "Mississippi River".

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Streams flowing down a mountain tend to have more kinetic energy and momentum than the rivers flowing through plains.
  • This increases their competence but at the same time, drains their capacity to convert themselves into larger streams.
  • Most of the Mississippi River's course happens to pass through plains.
  • That is why the Mississippi River has less competence yet more capacity than a "small mountain stream".
