What factors determine velocity of stream?
Speed and direction determine velocity
What factor determine the velocity of stream?
measure out ten feet of water, drop a rubber ducky, or some other floating object in the water. and then time it with a stopwatch ti see how long it takes to reach there. Then divide your data by ten to get the data in feet covered per second.
What factors determine whether a stream is permanent or ephemeral?
Permanent streams flow all year long, whereas ephemeral streams flow only for part of the year- in fact, some ephemeral streams flow only for a brief time after a heavy rain
What is a stream of photons?
Electromagnetic waves
What is a fast moving stream called?
drift
What factors determine velocity of stream?
Speed and direction determine velocity
What is the total sediment load transported by a stream?
carrying power
How does a stream make soil?
A stream makes soil by carrying and distributing sedements.
What are two main factors that determine the climate of a region?
The jet stream, bodies of water, location on earth, and water currents
How does the velocity of a stream effect its carring capacity?
The higher the velocity of the stream the larger carrying capacity it has.
What is the maximum size of particle a stream can transport?
The answer is carrying capacity.
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
Which rock particle would settle first as a stream slows?
The largest particles in the stream would settle out first.
Does the carrying capacity increase as a stream's slope and discharge increases?
true
Which sediments would a stream carry at 5 cm?
In a stream, heavy sediments settle quickly and finer sediments stay suspended in the water and get carried down stream farther, even as the stream shrinks in size.
If a stream's discharge decreases how does it affect the stream's capacity?
The capacity of a stream is the maximum load it can carry. Capacity is directly related to a stream's discharge. The greater the volume of water in a stream is, the greater its capacity is for carrying sediment. So if a stream's discharge decreases, the stream's capacity also decreases.
What are the biotic and abiotic of a freshwater stream?
Biotic factors are classified as the living factors in the freshwater stream. These would include the fish, plants, ducks, flies, mosquitoes, etc. The abiotic factors are the nonliving factors in and around the stream. These would include rocks, sunlight, the water itself, etc.
