Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both curves show a rise in streamflow, indicating a precipitation event or snowmelt. However, the solid curve has a steeper rise and peak, indicating a more intense event. Additionally, urbanization can cause changes in the timing and magnitude of streamflow, which could explain the difference between the two curves. Therefore, all of the given choices are correct.
