Which factors affect a river's load?
a.
river’s slope
c.
streambed shape
b.
volume of flow
d.
all of the above

Option (D)

Explanation:

The river load is defined as the materials such as rock fragments, stones, sediments and other types of particles, which are carried by the river during its flowing stage. These particles are generally considered as the load.

A load of a river is often affected by the slope of the river, the shape of the river bed and the volume of water flow.

The slope of the river plays an essential role as the higher the slope, the higher will be the flow rate and more amount of sediments and rock fragments will be transported by the river.

The narrow type of rivers are generally faster and carries a larger amount of sediments in comparison to a broad river channel. Again, the more the volume of water flow in any river, the more it has the capacity to pick sediments and transports them from one place to another.

The lighter particles generally flow in suspension or solution, and the coarser particles are carried either by rolling, sliding and saltation process.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

the reaction mixture contains some ammonia, plus a lot of unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen. the mixture is cooled and compressed, causing the ammonia gas to condense into a liquid. the liquefied ammonia is separated and removed. the unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are then recycled back into the reactor .
