How does a streams gradient affect of velocity?
The steeper the gradient, the higher the velocity of flow.
How gradient afects a streams erosive energy?
what are three factors that affect rate of stream erosion
How does a stream's gradient affect its velocity?
the difference in velocity is mostly due to the great efficiency of the large downstream channel.
How does the gradient of a river affect its flow?
The gradient of a river is mostly flat or downhill which means that as the water flows it is affected by gravity. The steeper the gradient goes downhill, the more gravity will affect the water which will make the water flow faster (increases the velocity).
How does a streams based level affect how it downcuts it's channel?
Streams can't erode their channels endlessly. there is a lower limit to how deep can a stream erode. Base level is the lowest point to which a stream can erode its channels.
How would a reduction in friction in a stream channel affect the streams velocity?
As water in the stream channel flows, it encounters friction; the friction slows the forward movement. The shape,size, and roughness affect the amount of friction. High friction slows the stream significantly.
Can the scale of a graph affect the gradient calculation?
Not if the gradient calculation is done correctly.
How does a gradient affect the steepness of the line?
The higher the gradient, the more steeper the line will be.
How does the gradient of river affect it flow?
The gradient of a stream affects the speed of the water as it moves downstream. The steeper the gradient, the faster the water moves.
How does a rivers gradient affect its speed erosion capabilities?
The steeper a river's gradient, the faster and greater the erosive power is.
How does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
Osmosis is a passive transport process. Therefore it can only go with the concentration gradient.
What are some changes people to rivers and streams?
How could each of these changes affect erosión and streams
