When the discharge of a stream increases, so does it's velocity. When it decreases, so does the velocity.

Stream gradient role on stream velocity?
An increase in gradient will generally increase stream velocity.
What does the rate of stream discharge has to do with erosion and deposition?
rate of stream discharge is directly proportional to the erosion i.e the higher the velocity of the stream then it will erode the rock rapidly while the deposition process will be slow when the velocity will be high.
Do changes in velocity and mass have the same effect on kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is equal to one half the mass times the square of the velocity. Thus, changes in velocity and mass do not have the same effect on kinetic energy. If you increase the mass by a factor of 10 at the same velocity, you increase the kinetic energy by a factor of 10. However, if you increase the velocity by a factor of 10 at the same mass, you increase the kinetic energy by a factor of 100.
What happens to the velocity of gas when temperature increase?
As temperature increases, so does molecular velocity, which also means volume increases.
How are veloc ty and acceleration related?
Acceleration is the rate of velocity incerease: > Acceleration = velocity increase / time > Units : metres per second increase per second
How does the velocity of a stream effect its carring capacity?
The higher the velocity of the stream the larger carrying capacity it has.
How does a river's velocity affect its competence and capacity?
the competence and capacity of a steam depend on a streams velocity and discharge. Because the velocity and discharge of a given stream are not constant , the competence and capacity of a stream are not constant . competence and capacity vary along a stream and change throughout the year.
What happens after a stream discharge increases?
After a stream's discharge increases, it overflows its banks and a flood occurs.
Seepage velocity and discharge velocity?
Discharge Velocity is obtained by Dividing the Total Discharge by the total cross Sectional Area , Where Total cross sectional area Consists of void+solid. In contrast .. Seepage Velocity is defined as the total discharge by the Area of voids only. So Seepage velocity always greater than Discharge Velocity.
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.
When the discharge of a stream increases what happens to the streams velocity?
When a stream's discharge increases, erosive energy increases.
What is difference between discharge velocity and seepage velocity?
discharge velocity is the quantity of flow that flows through a unit cross sectional area of the soil in a unit time discharge velocity is used to determine the quantity of flow through soil seepage velocity the actual rate of movement of the water as measured with dye tracer for instance, is the seepage velocity
What is formula for discharge water?
i think it is width X depth X velocity=discharge ?
What is an increase in velocity called?
an increase in speed - velocity is another word for speed
What is carrying power?
starting with the same velocity
What has to happen to a car's acceleration and velocity for a car's speed to increase and have a positive acceleration?
The velocity has to increase in a positive direction. The increase in velocity in a positive direction is a positive acceleration.
Why velocity of flow will decrease with increase in peripheral speed of francis turbine?
the peripheral velocity of the turbine is the around velocity. the increase in the velocity of the peripheral will decrease the velocity of the flow towards the turbine
