Question

Rivers are more important to the water cycle than streams.
True or false?

Answer 1

true

Answer 2

Streams are like tiny rivers, and most of them are underground, where fish can't reach them. Rivers are fresh, drinkable, and carry much more minerals.

Answer 4

Another awful question for 2 reasons. 1) Both terms are human concepts that have not basis in nature. Do you think a frog knows or cares that it is in a "stream" and not a "river"? The cutoff for when a stream becomes a river is a arbitrary human decision. 2) You cannot really have one without the other can you? I defy anyone to show me a river without streams draining into it, and I defy anyone to show me a stream without ditches draining into it.

Answer 5

@mrdoldum It seems to me that lately biology teachers are getting kind of lazy. A lot of their questions are getting unclear, and they don't make anysense. So, yeah. Teachers are disappointing me. ;P

Answer 6

@Gabebro13 You'll be happy to know that I am a constant thorn in the side of the person that makes the quizzes for my classes. I am always correcting things or clarifying things. It isn't just Biology teachers though. Writing questions that are clear to all the readers is difficult. There are so many variables. For instance, what if we asked some one to calculate the odds of drawing 3 kings in a row from a deck of cards? It may sound pretty clear, but consider that many in Europe do not use 52 card decks, several Asian cultures do not use cards similar enough to even understand the question.

Answer 7

My fourth grade science teacher didn't think the sun qualified as a star. I got her fired.

Answer 8
