Document Summary

4a) in a given location, precipitation = 100 mm/yr, evapotranspiration = 60 mm/yr. 4b) if the climate changes, decreasing precipitation to 50mm/yr, and with water in the ground equaling. 4c) why would this be negative for agricultural regions: the annual discharge for the mackenzie river is 325 km3/year, the st. lawrence is 318 km3/year. The st. lawrence will have the greater annual discharge in 5 years. Fd = 67 n ; = 10. 28 kg /m*s ; v = 102 m/s. R = 0. 00338m or 3. 38 mm: what classification of sediment is the grain? (*consult water velocity vs. If the velocity is decreased to below 100 cm/s, the flow would allow the particle to be deposited onto the bed. (refer to fig. The arrow represents an oxbow lake, this is created from channel abandonment/migration: highlight the areas where deposition would occur versus where erosion occurs. Erosion occurs along the cutbanks, highest energy part of the channel.
