How do the gradient and discharge of a stream change from its headwaters to its mouth?
The discharge for a single stream should not change much from the headwater to the mouth. The exceptions to the mouth would be if another stream joined the main stream, which would increase the discharge or if you loose a significant amount of water to infilitration, which would decrease the discharge. The gradient should be high at the headwaters and gradually decrease downstream where it should be low at the mouth. Of course differences in lithologies or secondary streams can change the gradient for a short distance, thought the overall profile should fit the expected model.
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 happens after stream discharge increases?
After a stream's discharge increases, it overflows its banks and a flood occurs.
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.
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge .?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
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 happens after a stream discharge increases?
After a stream's discharge increases, it overflows its banks and a flood occurs.
What does A stream discharge .?
Water.
What is a discharge of a stream?
a discharge of a stream is the amount of water flowing past a certain point in a given unit of time.
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
Why a stream discharge increase?
Stream discharge would increase if additional water enters it, such as from a rain storm or from melting snow.
What is the definition of stream discharge?
stream discharge is the amount of water flowing through a space OR increases between its source or mouth
