surroundings‚ their surroundings in this case being the drainage basin and therefore the storm hydrograph is affected. These physical factors would be factors such as Basin‚ Size Shape and Relief‚ types of precipitation‚ land use; they contribute to regulating the ways in which a river responds to precipitation. The size‚ shape and relief of the basin are very important controls. For instance if the basin is small it is most likely expected that the rainfall will reach the main channel more rapidly

Global climate change has positive and negative effects on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The cause of global climate change is said to be because carbon dioxide is being emitted through the large scale burning of oil‚ coal and gas‚ with an additional contribution coming from clearing of tropical forests and woodlands which results in wildlife life destruction. The carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere and prevents it from being sent back out into space. The heat that
