RIVERS
7 factors
-
-
-
-
vegetation
more --> more roots --> more gaps + lines of weaknesses --> more percolation and infiltration --> less runoff --> less volume --> less energy
-
-
-
drainage basin
-
-
mouth
where river empties (into sea, lake etc)
-
-
-
water cycle
-
-
-
outputs
evaporation, river discharge
valleys and channels
upper course
-
valley: v shape, steep gradient
-
lower course
valley: flat bottomed, wide
-
processes
-
erosional
-
attrition
load clashing tgt --> smaller, smoother load
-
solution
dissolving of soluble minerals in rocks, because of a chemical reaction
-
-
supply vs demand
supply: water sources, aquifers, tech
demand: uses: industrial, domestic
industries increase, population increases --> increase in demand
higher tech (desalination, newater), more rain, politics
sg water security
safe, enough, access, alive, health, water disasters/pollution, development, preserve ecosystem
