Answer:

107,768 ft³/hr

Explanation:

Given that :

FIELD A:

Runoff Coefficient (C1) = 0.55

Field size (s1) = 3 acre

FIELD B:

Runoff Coefficient (C2) = 0.75

Field size (s2) = 5 acre

Rainfall intensity (I) = 5.5 in/hr

We need to convert ;

Field size to ft²

1 acre = 43560 ft²

s1 = 3 acre = 43560 * 3 = 130,680 ft²

s2 = 5 acre = 43560 * 5 = 217,800 ft²

Rainfall intensity to ft/hr

1 inch = 0.0833 ft

5.5 in/ hr = (0.0833 * 5.5) ft/hr = 0.45815 ft/hr

Peak flow :

(C1 * s1 * I) + (C2 * s2 * I)

(0.55 * 130680 * 0.45815) + (0.75 * 217800 * 0.45815)

32929.0731 + 74838.8025

= 107767.8756 ft³/hr

kicyunya [14]

The statement that is true is underground water is still important in shaping landforms although underground water has little effect in erosion. Therefore, the correct option is option b.

<h3>What is underground water?</h3>

Underground water, or simply known as groundwater, is the water that is present beneath the Earth's surface in the fractures of rock formations and in rock and soil pore spaces. About thirty percent of all readily available freshwater in the world is underground water. When a unit of rock or an unconsolidated deposit can yield a usable quantity of water, it is called an aquifer.

Underground water is recharged from the surface; Naturally it may discharge from the surface at seeps and springs, and it can form oases or wetlands.

Global belts of low and high air pressure are caused by _____.
Grace [21]
I think the correct answer would be the first option. Global belts of low and high air pressure are caused by horizontal air currents. Air current travels horizontally in the direction from low pressure to a high pressure zone. So, it is the horizontal movement of air that causes air pressure.
