The physical geographies of sub-Sahara Africa are influenced by two major features of atmospheric

Describe the weather changes that would likely occur as a mid-latitude cyclone passes over a given location, beginning with the approach of the warm front

What will be an ideal response?

Using Figure 16.17, list the stream properties that increase with downstream distance and those that decrease

Then, explain which properties are most responsible for the increase in sediment load with downstream distance and the decrease in the grain size of the sediment load with downstream distance. What will be an ideal response?

Intraregional migration in the United States has slowed recently because of

A) lifestyle choices. B) the economic recession. C) a desire for detached houses with private yards. D) job growth in urban centers. E) a counterurbanization trend.

After a major rainstorm in a humid climate and with no overland flow to a stream, why does the stream level rise almost immediately?

a. Groundwater seeps down to raise the water table and forces older groundwater out into the stream. b. The groundwater moves very fast, through porous ground, to the stream. c. The stream rise comes from farther up the drainage basin. d. Actually it doesn’t rise rapidly; it merely seems like it does. e. The groundwater displaces older groundwater in the stream, over the water table.
