Answer:

3.29ft/mi

Explanation:

The gradient of a river is the slope through which a river flows. It measures the vertical drop in elevation of river to the horizontal distance.

 Mathematically;

  River gradient = \frac{Elevation}{horizontal distance}  

 Elevation  = 1229ft

Horizontal distance  = 373miles

  River gradient  = \frac{1229}{373}   = 3.29ft/mi

  • On the various places of the earth, the rocks show different bend and folds as an impact of slab push and pull on both opposing ends of the plates. As the risk entre to different phases within the earth geologic history.
  • As in place that is near to the equator the rocks are older mass rearranged in shoreline and newer ones and located near to the magnetic rocks and near the plate ridges.
  • Depending on the direction of displacement od the terrestrial rock they are detection is affected by the convective, divergent or transform boundary of plate motion.
