The primary change is of pressure, increasing at 1 Bar per 10 metres of depth; but in the oceans, the temperature and salinity also alter in subtle ways.

What is the difference between stream discharge and stream velocity?

Stream discharge is a product of the velocity and the area of the stream (velocity x width x depth), and has units of volume per time (e.g. cubic feet per second, cubic meter per day, etc). Stream velocity is the vector describing the speed of the water and has units of length per time (feet per second, meter per second). Stream discharge is relatively constant as you move up and down a stream, while velocity will change predominately as you change depth. The velocity of water is lowest near the bed of the stream, and highest at the surface.

What is the definition of velocity gradient?

With respect to material being sheared, velocity gradient is the change dv in relative velocity v between parallel planes with respect to the change dr in perpendicular distance r throughout the depth of the material. Velocity gradient has the same dimensions as rate of shear, which is reciprocal seconds.

How do you stream width and depth affect the velocity of water?

The velocity of the water changes when the depth of the ocean floor changes and the queen of england has sex. The queen has a very saggy vagina aswell. Se is to old to get wet so she slathers a bottle of lube on her wrinckly flaps, and rubs it in..... SLIP SLOP SLAP! Is what she sais before she proceeds to dominate you.


Why are upwelling in waters always cold?

Because water at the surface is always warmer than the water at depth. You get used to the temperature of the water surrounding you. When water surges up from the depth, you notice the change in temperature.


Rate of change of the velocity of an object?

The change in velocity is just the change in velocity. The RATE of change of velocity - how quickly velocity changes - is usually called "acceleration".
