<u>Answer:</u>
The statement 'south of London' is an example of 'absolute location' is false.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- A location can be said to be an absolute location when it is defined with exact longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates.
- For instance, the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London can be said to be an example of 'absolute location' because its location can be pinpointed with the help of longitudes and latitudes.
- When we say south of London, it can be the entire area that falls south of London, which cannot be an example of an 'absolute location'.
Well biosphere needs all the sphere to live
In areas where the plates come together, sometimes volcanoes will form. Volcanoes can also form in the middle of a plate, where magma rises upward until it erupts on the seafloor, at what is called a “hot spot.” The Hawaiian Islands were formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate.
(1) Meteorological/Climate factor:
-Rainfall intensity
-Rainfall amount
-Rainfall duration
-Distribution of rainfall over the drainage basin.
(2) Phsyiographic factors (e.g. watershed)
- watershed size
-Watershed shape
-watershed slope
(3) Vegetation
- Dense vegetation leads to less run-off while sparse vegetation leads to more run-off.
(4) Urban development.
- Roads and buildings have do not allow infiltration into the soil. Water will therefore run off directly into the stream, at a very fast rate and in significant volume.
