Question

What is the ratio of the number of stream branches of a given order to the number of stream branches of the next higher order called?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This relation indicates that the bifurcation ratio, Rh, is equal to the number of streams of the next to the highest order for a given drainage basin. Thus, the bifurcation ratio as defined by equation 4 can be equated to the number of maj or tributaries to a given stream.

mark me as brainleist.

Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of number of the stream segments of given order „Nu‟ and the number of streams in the next higher order (Nu+1) is called bifurcation ratio. Horton (1945) has well-thought-out the Rb as index of relief and dissertation. The Rb is dimensionless property and generally ranges from 3.0 to 5.0.
