Introduction Throughout the completion of my geography controlled coursework I am going to investigate the Collin River and how its river features change as we go downstream. Aims Through the completion of this piece of coursework I aim to measure the cross-sectional area of the Collin River at five points along the river’s course. I aim to measure the amount of discharge along the river’s course. I aim to notice how the bed load changes by size and shape as we go downstream. Theoretical Context

There are other risk factors for flooding too: steep-sided channels cause fast surface run-off‚ while a lack of vegetation or woodland to both break the flow of water and drink the water means that there is little to slow the floodwater down. Drainage basins of impermeable rock also cause the water to run faster over the surface. Earthquakes are another common natural disaster that can cause many fatalities. The movements of the plates in the earth’s crust cause them. These plates do not always move

About the time of Christ‚ this migration began as negroid people from the central Benue river valley around the present day border between Nigeria and Cameroon pushed south and south east into the forest of the Congo river basin. These Bantu speakers seem to have been relatively few in number perhaps only several hundreds-but they were able to move quickly through the

Natural gas and oil There are 22 discovered gas fields in Bangladesh of various sizes. The total reserve of 20 gas fields is about 26 Tcf (trillion cubic feet). Gas in most of the fields is dry‚ in a few fields it is wet. For example at Beanibazar (16 bbl/mmcfg)‚ Jalalabad (15 bbl/mmcfg)‚ and Kailashtila (13 bbl/mmcfg). Currently‚ natural gas accounts for more than 70% of the total commercial energy consumption and the major part of the future energy demand would be met from it. Power sector ranks
