Why does moving water through a stream move faster near the outside edge of a meander?
Suppose the stream is turning left. The water would prefer to go straight on and so it hits the right bank. This effect cuts away the right bank and deepns the bed there. Now we have the two effects. The faster water tends to go to the deeper side and so the slower water is pushed aside to the shallow left where it slows down even more.
What is a fast moving stream called?
drift
What is the pressure in a moving stream fluid?
Depends on the stuff and volume
Does fast moving stream respond and adjust to changes?
Yes it does.
Does a fast moving stream respond and adjust to changes?
Yes it does.
Is a jet stream faster or slower in the winter?
the answer is FASTER. so it is: Jet stream moves faster in the winter. :)
What is the jet stream and is it faster or slower in the winter?
a jet stream is a narrow band of air that moves around the earth at high speeds. it is faster
What is the jet stream and is it faster or slower in winter?
a jet stream is a narrow band of air that moves around the earth at high speeds. it is faster
Stream velocity is faster in a?
Stream velocity is dependent of four things. They are, the flow type, the gradient, the channel shape, and the discharge of the stream. Streams will flow faster in narrow channels on steeper grades.
Does a stream from mountains get faster or slower as it continues?
It depends on the topography of the land. Generally,however, the stream slows down as the stream moves away from the mountains.
How gradient affects a stream erosive energy?
a stream or river that has low gradient has less energy for erosion
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is what?
A steep gradient will force the water to flow downhill faster.
What happens to stream speed if the discharge in a stream doubles?
If in a given stream the velocity doubles, the discharge: Choose one answer
What effect does the speed of a flowing stream have on the size of the particle its 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.

In a typical stream where the gradient in steep the discharge is?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
