Respuesta :

The correct answers/matches are: a-1, b-2. c-3, d-5, e-4. Flow rate is defined as the volume of water flowing over a given surface per unit of time. In simpler terms, it is the speed at which water flows through a pipe.

Water velocity, pipe diameter, and frictional losses all affect volumetric flow. River Slope – The river slope, or the number of drops per mile measured between two points along the river path.

a. The flow rate of water expressed in volume per unit time is Discharge.

b. The slope of the mountain stream bottom is Gradient

c. A third sine wave is used to represent the channel pattern is Sinuosity.

d. loose sediment and dissolved chemicals carried by the stream is sediment available.

e. The amount of dirt material waiting to be moved by the stream is load.
