What two factors determine the speed of a stream?

The gradient or slope of the streambed and the volume of water flowing through the stream are the two main factors determining the speed of a stream. A steeper gradient typically results in a faster-flowing stream, while a higher volume of water will also increase the stream's speed.


Can alcohol pass directly into the blood stream from the mouth or stomach?
