question 22

Essay

Refer to the figure.
Figure 1
You are studying a river in its natural state, unaffected by human activities. Your data are graphed in Figure 1. You began collecting data at the source of the river ("0 km" on the figure) and continued to sample the river every 1 km.
-The river you were studying (data in Figure 1) is suddenly diverted at its source and the entire river channel path is changed. The former path of the river is now terrestrial. Based on the data on river flow and water depth collected before the river was diverted (Figure 1), which areas would be most likely to have soils with the highest cation exchange capacity after river diversion, and why? Give your answer as the distance in km from the former source of the river.
