Q

Having urban areas next to stream channel changes the discharge because the blank surfaces cause all precipitation to become blank, which increases the likelihood of blank

Q

Larger channels will have blank flowing water because blank of the volume of water is encountering blank from the bottom and the sides

A

Faster less friction

17
Q

What is the zone of saturation

A

The area where water fills all of the open spaces and sediment and rock

18
Q

The upper limit of the zone of saturation is the

Q

When does the groundwater moves more slowly

A

When the pore spaces are smaller

Q

What is Porosity

Is the volume of open spaces and rock or soil

22
Q

The permeability of a material is its ability to release what

27
What is a spring
A flow of groundwater that emerges naturally at the ground surface
28
What is a geyser
