3. A continuous curve of descent of a stream floor
4. A steep curve

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The balance between erosion and deposition brought about by changes in the capacity and quantity of work
2. The balance between the quantity of work and discharge of the river
3. The balance between the velocity and discharge of the river
4. The balance between the slope and volume of water of the river

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The slope of equilibrium
2. The slope of maximum erosion
3. The slope of maximum deposition
4. The slope of maximum velocity

Correct Answer

Options:

1. A stream with a high velocity and low sediment load
2. A stream with a low velocity and high sediment load
3. A stream in which the slope is delicately adjusted to provide the required velocity for transporting the load supplied from the drainage basin
4. A stream in which the velocity is independent of the slope

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Channel width, channel depth, and bed roughness
2. Stream discharge, sediment load, and ultimate base level of erosion
3. Velocity, quantity, and nature of sediments
4. Channel behaviour, tendency of meandering or braiding, and lithology

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Independent variables
2. Channel width, channel depth, and bed roughness
3. Velocity, quantity, and nature of sediments
4. Channel behaviour, tendency of meandering or braiding, and lithology

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Channel gradient and the size of the river channel
2. Discharge and velocity
3. Velocity of moving water and size of the river channel
4. Velocity of moving water and discharge

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Meandering increases channel length, which increases channel slope
2. Meandering decreases channel length, which decreases channel slope
3. Meandering increases channel length, which decreases channel slope
4. Meandering decreases channel length, which increases channel slope

Correct Answer

Options:

1. A river that has a fixed slope throughout its course
2. A river that has attained perfect balance between transporting capacity and total load to be transported
3. A river that has a high velocity and a high transporting capacity
4. A river that has a low velocity and a low transporting capacity

Correct Answer

Options:

1. When sediment load increases and exceeds the transporting capacity of the river
2. When sediment load decreases and erosion exceeds deposition
3. When sediment load decreases and deposition exceeds erosion
4. When sediment load increases and deposition exceeds erosion

Correct Answer

Options:

1. A longitudinal profile indicating balance between erosion and deposition throughout the course of the river
2. A profile indicating the maximum slope of a river channel
3. A profile indicating the minimum slope of a river channel
4. A profile indicating the sediment load of a river
