Question:
1.During the winter months, this stream network is dry, but when the winter comes, water fills each of the channels. If the highest order stream has a discharge of 6250 m 3 s -1 in this flood season, as measured by a weir, and is observed to be 500 m across with a drop of 1 m for every 100 m of length along the river, what kind of bed-forms do you expect to see once the stream is dry again the next summer if the grain size is 0.1 mm?
2.Travel to the following locations using Google Earth Pro, Google maps or any other mapping software of your choice. Describe the primary landform building process in each area and speculate briefly how each area came to look the way it does today!
