Objectives - Chapter 10
- Describe and illustrate the hydrologic cycle.
- Explain the major processes by which water moves from each earth “reservoir” to others.
- Explain how stream velocity, gradient, channel shape and discharge change along the stream profile.
- Use Figure 10.7 to predict when a stream will erode, or what type of sediment will be deposited.
- Describe and illustrate how streams meanders form and migrate.
- Describe what is meant by a 100-year flood (or an x-year flood).
- Given a history of peak discharge for a stream, calculate the recurrence interval and likelihood of a given-size flood occurring.
