The discharge of a river traveling through a temperate region will typically ________ downstream; the discharge of a river traveling through an arid region will typically ________ downstream.

Respuesta :

Answer:

increase; decrease  

Explanation:

          A temperate region have moderate and mild climate. The temperature is neither to high nor too low. It receives moderate rainfall yearly and there is supply of water. Thus a river flowing through the temperate region will increase its discharge as there is availability of water.

           A arid region has dry weather. It has hot climatic conditions. Very less rainfall occurs in arid regions. Thus a river flowing in an arid area dries up and thus it have less  discharge flowing downstream.
