Ap Human Geography Case 8.07
1. Describe three factors that control how much water is flowing in a river.
The rate of precipitation, the source of water (snow on mountains), and slope of the river.
2. List the factors that produced the different flow conditions.
Rillito Creek, Arizona- An increase in precipitation. Mississippi and Wisconsin Rivers- result of global climate change. Colorado River, Glen Canyon Dam- an increase in precipitation.
3. What do the spikes in the graph indicate?
A big increase in the measured discharge (cfs)
4. List the date and amount of discharge for the two highest peaks on the graph.
August 10th 1976- 3 cfs, and August 16th 1976- 1 cfs.
5. What do the spikes in the graph indicate?
An increased amount in precipitation.
