What is bad about hydropower?
It requires building dams. Many of these affect the rivers, changing wildlife, and making the rivers build up silt and sediment.
What does energy have to do with rivers?
Rivers require water to be transported to their head-waters. To do this the sun provide copious energy to evaporate sea water and cause weather to bright the moisture to the mountains.
Does Friction only affects solid objects?
no it may affect the liquid and the gas also for example for the liquid the rivers ,and for the gases the friction may transform to heat
Why are nuclear power plants near rivers or oceans?
Nuclear power plants should be close to rivers, oceans, or sea water to get the required cooling capacity for the steam condensate that is passing through the condenser. This condensate, after being cooled down, is recirculated back to the steam generators (in a closed circuit where is turned again into steam that passes over the steam turbines).
How do you calculate the velocity of the boat relative to shore?
The velocity of a boat relative to the shore is also known as 'Speed over ground' can be established by two main methods.1. Speed over ground can be established as average speed over ground, by making two position fixes in the chart, using the compass bearings towards at least two shore objects in each of the fixes and writing down the time. The average speedAvSpeed = Distance covered (measured in the chart) / Time elapsed between the two fixes.A fix is a determination of the boat position using landmarks shown in the chart.2. Using a GPS (Global Positioning System). A modern GPS gives you the instant speed over the ground. Using the distance travelled (registered by the GPS) and the elapsed time (also recorded by the GPS) you can calculate the average speed over ground (average velocity relative to shore). Some GPS units can calculate this average speed, if you reset the distance travelled and time elapsed data on the GPS when you start your navigation.
How do calculate the velocity of the boat relative to the shore?
Add the rivers velocity to the boats velocity
When do streams and rivers deposit sediment?
When their velocity decreases
What was the affect of the rivers flooding in Mesopotamia?
The affect of rivers flooding in Mesopotamia was that the rivers would deposit silt which was very good for growing crops
Do rivers affect thunderstorms?
no
How urbanization affect river discharge?
Urbanization generally means more impermeable surfaces, like concrete. This increases the amount of runoff (rain going to rivers) which means an increase in the amount (and velocity) of discharge.
What are high-altitudes high velocity rivers of air are called?
Jet streams
High-altitude high velocity rivers of air are called what?
Jet streams
How does rainfall affect rivers?
yes it does :)
What facts affect a river meander?
Transportation and fish affect the rivers
How do meandering rivers relate to humans how do humans use meandering rivers how do meandering rivers affect humans?
Love
What happens to the ability of a river to erode land under it if its slope decreases?
If a rivers slope decreases, its ability to erode land under it decreases too. The slope determines the rivers velocity. The steeper the slope, the higher the velocity, the more erosion.
Is it true a tornado won't go where two rivers meet?
No, rivers do not affect tornadoes.
