Symposium presentations

5 important questions on Symposium presentations

Why do we quantify? What could be the result of quantification?

  • Why: To compare (as an example)
  • Result: your focus on the nr (the end result) but before that you make a whole story about the modeling process. Eg the zesjescultuur does not agree with the purpose of the grading system: check if you have learned and understood the concepts.

Climate aridity (Ep /P) limits the water balance and determines a very large part of how much of P becomes runoff or not. In which graph/theory is this explained?

What are the two main controls on precipitation partitioning in runoff production

  • Aridity
  • Snowiness

Does climate or tectonics shape river long profiles globally? What are the reasons/hypotheses it would be climate or tectonics?

Climate:
  • Effect of losing streams
  • More straight or more convex profiles the more arid you location gets

Tectonics:
  • Tectonic regions have more uplift
  • Stronger spatial gradients in uplift areas...
  • More concave profiles in locations with more tectonic activity


Tectonics clearly correlates with river profile concavity (whereas climate does not), when looking at global maps of tectonic plate boundaries and climate.

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
