Within a fourth order drainage basin, the total lengths of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th order streams are 10.5 km, 7.5 km, 5.5 km and 1.5 km, respectively. If the drainage density of the basin is 0.5 km-1, the basin area is km2. (In integer)
A drainage basin of fourth order covers an area of 35 km². Within the basin, the total lengths of the 1st order, 2nd order, and 3rd order drainages are 11.5 km, 8.5 km, and 4.2 km, respectively. If the drainage density of the basin is 0.8 km\(^{-1}\), the total length of the 4th order drainage is \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\) km.

In a structurally controlled fluvial setting, an asymmetric flight of river terraces T1, T2, and T3 shown in the figure was sampled at location L1. The age of the sample at L1 was 30 ka (kiloyears).
