A small mountain stream will have a ________ competence and a ________ capacity than the mississippi river

Respuesta :

Answer:

A "small mountain stream" will have a greater competence and a lower capacity than the "Mississippi River".

Explanation:

  • Streams flowing down a mountain tend to have more kinetic energy and momentum than the rivers flowing through plains.
  • This increases their competence but at the same time, drains their capacity to convert themselves into larger streams.
  • Most of the Mississippi River's course happens to pass through plains.
  • That is why the Mississippi River has less competence yet more capacity than a "small mountain stream".
