Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graph is specifically showing changes in streamflow over time, which is a key element of a hydrograph. A water budget looks at the inputs and outputs of a water system, a climograph shows both temperature and precipitation data, and the hydrological cycle is a broader concept that includes all aspects of the movement of water through the Earth's systems.
