Answer to Question 1

Drainage of a lake that serves as a temporary base level will lower the base level for the part of the
stream above the lake. The stream may respond by eroding, in an attempt to reach its new base level.



Answer to Question 2

A heavy rain will increase stream volume and velocity. The channel and gradient will be temporarily
too small and low, respectively, for the increased volume. Stretches of the stream with a low gradient
will experience erosion, and stretches farther downstream may experience deposition as the gradient of
the upstream portion is adjusted (increased).

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
