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.
