a) convex (a ridge); convex b) convex (a ridge); concave c) concave (a valley); convex d) concave (a valley); concave

2. Based on the shape of the hydrographs shown below, drainage basin A probably has:

a) higher infiltration rates than drainage basin B.
b) higher amounts of throughflow than drainage basin B.
c) higher amounts of surface runoff than drainage basin B.
d) both (a) and (b) are true.

3. The graph of precipitation, interception, infiltration, and surface runoff shown below probably represents an area with:

a) sandy soils as opposed to clay-rich soils because the infiltration capacity is low.
b) gentle slope gradients as opposed to steep slopes because the rate of interception is low.
c) moderately impermeable surfaces because the rate of surface runoff parallels the precipitation rate.
d) dense vegetation because the interception rate is constant throughout the storm event.

4. Examination of the two maps below shows that the Niobrara River has a:

a) braided channel pattern.
b) relatively straight channel pattern.
c) meandering channel pattern.
d) both (a) and (b) are true.
