What are the two paths that rainfall can take after it reaches the land surface?
 
  What will be an ideal response?



Q. 2 - Locate the data for the highest-discharge flood at Albuquerque after Cochiti Dam was completed in 1973.
 
  Date of flood: ____________________ Discharge: _____________cfs (ft3/sec)
 
  Rank in the entire flood record _________________
 
  What is the recurrence interval for this flood? Show your calculations.
  Note that to calculate the recurrence interval, R, use:
  R = (n+1)/r
  n = the number of records in the data set
  r = the rank of the annual-peak discharge value with 1 being the highest value in the table.
 
  Fill in the blank with correct word.



Q. 3 - Define and describe or sketch the hydrologic cycle.
 
  What will be an ideal response?



Q. 4 - Define stream. What role do streams play in distributing sediment on Earth?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

(Answer to question 1 )  Precipitation can soak into the ground or flow on the surface. If the precipitation infiltrates the ground it can be taken up by plants, evaporate as soil moisture, or become ground water. If the water flows on the surface, it will eventually enter a stream.

(Answer to question 2 )  Date of flood: 5/28/1984
Discharge: 9500 cfs
Rank in the entire flood record: 9
R = (58+1)/9 = 6.5

(Answer to question 3 )  The hydrologic cycle describes the movement of water and water vapor through the earth system. The hydrologic cycle includes water in the form of precipitation and water vapor due to evaporation and transpiration by plants. Water moves down and also horizontally through the sediments and soil near the Earth's surface.

(Answer to question 4 )  A stream is flowing water that drains water from land and simultaneously transports sediments.
