Question
Chapter 14.3, Problem 2WIO
To determine
The effects of the flood on pollutants that attach to particles in stream and the location where sediments and pollutants accumulate when dam is built.
Introduction:
The environment contains various types of sediments. These may be harmful to environment due to their toxic effect or beneficial due to their better reactivity. Stream transports these sediment loads from one place to another. Stream competence is the ability of stream to move particles with stream of water.

The Human Denominator Assignment
As we learn about how the earth works, we learn to identify the different earth spheres
and how they overlap and affect one another. An understanding of the Earth's systems and
spheres takes practice. More importantly, we can see the "Domino Effect" of the spheres as they
interact with one another. We have learned that while endogenic processes are separate from
exogenic process, the lithosphere affects the atmosphere which affects the hydrosphere, and the
