Characteristics that influence the shape of TRF hydrographs

?
Geology: largely comprised of...
impermeable rocks, with minimal water storage capacity increasing run off
1 of 5
Geology: permeable rock e.g. sandstone and limestone
rainwater is stored reducing runoff and increasing the time it takes for water to get to rivers
2 of 5
Relief: low land
encouraging infiltration and throughflow. water stored on flood plain
3 of 5
Relief: steep
west andes, rapid runoff
4 of 5
Temp: high
evapotranspiration, high levels of humidity, large cumulonimbus clouds, precipiation
