How Does the Strahler Method Rank Stream Ordering

question 5

Multiple Choice

How does the Strahler method rank stream ordering?

• A) The magnitude values of two streams that flow into each other are added together to become the magnitude value of the new stream.
• B) Stream magnitude will increase only when two streams of the same magnitude flow into each other.
• C) Stream magnitude will increase only when a lower-order stream flows into a higher-order stream.
• D) The lower-magnitude value of two streams that flow into each other is subtracted from the higher-magnitude value, resulting in the magnitude value of the new stream.

Definitions:

Coexisting Functions

The phenomenon where multiple factors or conditions operate or exist simultaneously, influencing outcomes or behaviors in complex ways.

Multiply Controlled Behaviors

Behaviors influenced by more than one environmental factor or contingency, making them complex and sometimes challenging to modify.

Antecedents

Events or conditions that precede and influence behavior, often studied in behavioral psychology to understand causal relationships.

Functional Analysis

A set of procedures used in FBA to analyze contextual variables, primarily focusing on consequences to reduce students’ problem behaviors. It is also used to describe the second stage of FBA, testing hypotheses.
