Rainfall in mountain ranges might impact people living nearby by:

A) increasing erosion in mountains
B) increasing flooding hazards
C) increasing mudslide hazards
D) water flowing into streams and rivers, increasing water supply
E) all of these

Mountain Ranges

Chains or clusters of mountains that are close together in a line or a group, often formed by tectonic forces or volcanism.

Flooding Hazards

Risks associated with excessive water, often due to heavy rainfall or river overflow, that can cause damage to structures and loss of life.

Mudslide Hazards

Risks associated with rapid downslope movement of soil and rock, often triggered by heavy rainfall or seismic activity.

  • Assess the effect of geographic aspects on human actions and potential dangers.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Rainfall in mountain ranges can lead to increased erosion, flooding, and mudslide hazards due to the steep terrain and loose soils often found in these areas. Additionally, rainfall contributes to water flowing into streams and rivers, which can increase the water supply for nearby communities. Therefore, all of the options listed are potential impacts of rainfall in mountain ranges on nearby populations.
