Assuming that the Great River has experienced a flood of 5,120 m/s in 2020, in
the same 147 years of record, recalculate the recurrence intervals. Add this
flood to Table 3 below and complete the missing information. Create an
appropriate caption for the table. Make sure to select the proper placement
for the caption (Above? Below? To the right?). Ensure that your caption begins
with "Table 3:". Show your calculations.

Based on the information provided, which river do you think has the greater
annual discharge? Justify your hypothesis.
Sylvia draws a model to represent the chemical reaction between two gases: methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2). In her model, she labels the
carbon atoms "C," the hydrogen atoms "H," and the oxygen atoms "O," as shown.

Sylvia's model is incomplete. Which is the best description of the reaction?
O A) One Methane and two 02 produced one CO2 and one H2O
O B) One Methane and two 02 produced one CO2 + 2H2O
OC) One Methane and two 02 produced one CO2 + H2O + 2H+0
◇ D) One Methane and two 02 produced one CO2 + H2O + 2H
