Which rock type is associated with a high-energy environment such as a very turbulent stream?

If the rock formed in a turbulent stream then it would probably be called a conglomerate. These have well rounded clasts because the water has worn them down, as well as a large variation in the size of the clasts which is due to the high energy environment.
If the rock formed in another high energy situation, such as a landslide, it could be called a breccia. It is a similar type of sedimentary rock to a conglomerate, however, its clasts are very angular rather than rounded because they are usually fragments of other rocks which have been broken during the high energy event.

What is verb of noun environment?
There is no verb form for the noun environment. A verb is a word for an action or a state of being. Examples: The stream is frozen. (the verb 'is' tells the state of the stream) The stream flows westward. (the verb 'flows' is the action of the stream) The adjective form of the noun environment is environmental. The adverb form of the noun environment is environmentally.

How is the jet stream related to the wind direction on the ground?
When the jet stream moves south, it moves its associated weather front, which causes winds from the north.

What is the foam at the bottom of a waterfall called?
the foams are called "turbulent rollers" and form when a shooting (fast moving stream which cascades over a steep drop) deposits at the base, where large debris is left as the river lessens its load.

What are input output streams in c plus plus?
The term stream is a generic abstraction that says nothing about the implementation. However, if we use the analogy that gave it its name, a stream of water, we can better understand how a stream works. A water stream allows water to flow from one point to another in one direction only (downstream, with the flow of the current). If we were to throw a stick into the water, it would be carried downstream by the water where it could then be extracted. Sticks can be inserted or extracted automatically by devices, thus allowing information to pass between those devices.A file stream is a stream that is associated with a device representing a file. If the file is upstream then we can use the stream to extract information from the file. When we extract information from a stream, that stream is known as an input stream; it provides us with information. Conversely, if the file were downstream then we can use the stream to insert information into the file. When we insert information into a stream, that stream is known as an output stream; it carries information away from us.An input/output stream is one where we can both insert and extract information. An input/output file stream is a typical example: we can extract data from the file associated with the stream, process the data (modify it in some way), and then insert the modified data back into the same file. To implement an input/output stream, we simply use two streams associated with the same device: one specifically for input operations, the other specifically for output operations. This implementation detail is hidden from the user, so the stream appears to be a bi-directional stream as far as the user is concerned.

What is stream deposition?
A stream's sediment load is typically deposited, eroded, and redeposited many times in a stream channel, especially during climatic variations such as flooding. Sediments are deposited throughout the length of the stream as bars or floodplain deposits. At the mouth of the stream, the sediments are usually deposited in alluvial fans or deltas, which represent a lower-energy, more "permanent" depositional environment that is less susceptible to changes in the stream flow. i got this from clift notes
