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).
It increases with the discharge, channel depth, and the channel width. :)
The gradient of a stream affects the speed of the water as it moves downstream. The steeper the gradient, the faster the water moves.
The velocity of a river will increase as the river goes downstream.
The gradient of a stream affects the speed of the water as it moves downstream. The steeper the gradient, the faster the water moves.
The steeper the gradient, the higher the velocity of flow.
the gradient and how much friction there was. The gradient means how steep the land the river is on so if it is very steep them the velocity will be higher.
Amount of water in the river and the Wind... Slope of the river and size of the river both affect how fast a river flows.
The steeper a river's gradient, the faster and greater the erosive power is.
whether they are deep or wide, slow or fast flowing, shallow or steep gradient, a river flows in a channel
A river's slope, volume of flow, and the shape of its streambed all affect how fast the river flows and how much sediment it can erode.
A mountain stream will often flow quickly as the gradient is steep. Lower down in the valley, the gradient is level and the width between the river banks is greater, so accommodating the greater volume of water. The speed of flow is therefore naturally reduced as the steepness of the gradient lessens.

Shear flow is the flow induced by a force gradient (for a fluid). For solids, it is the gradient of shear stress forces throughout the body.
