Introduction Throughout the completion of my geography controlled coursework I am going to investigate the Collin River and how its river features change as we go downstream. Aims Through the completion of this piece of coursework I aim to measure the cross-sectional area of the Collin River at five points along the river’s course. I aim to measure the amount of discharge along the river’s course. I aim to notice how the bed load changes by size and shape as we go downstream. Theoretical Context

Analysis and Interpretation Trends of the data: With the cross-sectional area on the whole it seems to increase as the river progresses‚ with Site 1 being 9.23 and Site 5 being 18.13. However Site 4 has a higher figure than Site 5‚ yet this was due to the fact that we could only use part of Site 4‚ as one half of the river was completely dry‚ so the results from that site are likely to be an anomaly. Looking at the Bedload in the bar graphs it is clear that with the pebble roundness the pebbles

Effects of Open Burning Over industrialization and globalization‚ the economic growth has been evolving since a few decades ago. Majority of human now are exposed to the advance technologies and luxury of life. However‚ these scenarios do not indicate that life nowadays is much better than the olden days. Every year without fail‚ open burning occurs everywhere. Especially in Indonesia‚ the nomad people and people of the agriculture field will burn forest for their own benefit. After forest

Illuminate how water affects the external processes on the slope of Hong Kong. Explain how these external processes shape the slope landscape in Hong Kong. Chemical weathering involves the decomposition of rock due to the alteration of rock minerals by chemical reactions between the rocks and the water with which they come into contact. Chemical reaction causes certain minerals to change into more vulnerable ones. This weakens the internal structure of the rocks‚ and leads to decomposition. Moisture

Activity: Describe and explain how river processes change along a river’s long profile (15 MARKS) Upper - Erosion - Vertical - Weak Erosion but strong Velocity In the upper stage of the river’s long profile‚ there is mainly vertical erosion and by abrasion. Erosion occurs when there are high-energy conditions and discharge are high after heavy rain or ice melt. The rough channel from the high velocity causes turbulence and the large‚ angular bedload is dragged along the river bed‚ causing

Introduction Carding mill Valley has a v shape valley and meanders. We are going to be to be taking measurements of velocity and discharge along the upper course‚ middle course‚ and lower course. The Bradshaw Model: The Bradshaw model is important to this controlled assessment because the Bradshaw Model is a geographical model which describes how a river’s characteristics vary between the upper course and lower course of a river. This coursework is underpinned through some key processes/concepts

1 A stream has been monitored weekly for a number of years‚ and the total dissolved solids in the stream averages 40 parts per million and is constant throughout the year. Following a recent change in land use in the drainage basis of the steam‚ a fluvial geomorphologist finds that the mean parts per million of dissolved solids in a 25-week sample to be 52 with a standard deviation of 32. Has there been a change in the average level of dissolved solids in this stream? 2 An exhaustive survey
