A fast-moving stream is carrying sand and gravel These particles increase the erosive power of the stream by?
Rubbing against rocks along the stream channel
What effect does the size of the particlesthat make up a stream's load have on its erosive energy?
Several things affect the rate of erosion. Ice, wind, are the main causes of erosion. Animals and humans also cause erosion.
How gradient afects a streams erosive energy?
what are three factors that affect rate of stream erosion
What is the result of an old river not having much erosive energy?
it would not be a river it would be stream
When the discharge of a stream increases what happens to the streams velocity?
When a stream's discharge increases, erosive energy increases.
How gradient affects a stream erosive energy?
a stream or river that has low gradient has less energy for erosion
What effect does the speed of a flowing have on the size of the particles it is able to carry?
For a given mass of stream water, its kinetic energy is proportional to the speed of flow squared. So, for example, if we double the speed of the stream its kinetic energy will increase by four fold. And kinetic energy can be found from the average force acting on some mass (e.g., those "particles") over a distance. So one can conclude that a faster moving stream can exert more force on the stones and debris in that stream. Which means the faster moving stream is more likely to be able to actually lift and carry larger heavier particles than the slower stream can. NOTE: This discounts particles that can float in a static stream, like wood chips, as they are carried without the stream flowing.
