How does changing the slope of the stream table produce different results?
Changing the slope of the stream table affects the speed and direction of water flow. A steeper slope creates faster water flow, which can result in more erosion and deposition. Conversely, a flatter slope slows down water flow, leading to less erosion and deposition. These changes in flow dynamics can cause differences in the shape and size of channels, as well as the amount and distribution of sediment carried by the water.
What happens as these currents move up in opposite directions?
the water or fluid will be moving the opposite direction
If the slide is moved left does the image move the same direction?
no, the image will move in the opposite direction.
What direction do particles in water wave move?
Water is a very unique object in our galaxy. Water, when frozen actually expands and the molecules rotate in place. Water in the liquid state moves in ripples if disturbed. The force of the pressure from the object on the surface of water is the cause that makes the water move in that pattern. The disturbed H2O molecules move away from the area of pressure.
Which direction do tornadoes move once they are on the ground?
A tornado can move in any direction, but the generally travel northeast.
Water pouring over a steep slope in a straight down direction?

What is windward slope?
the slope which the direction of the wind blows.
How does ploughing across a slope of a hill help retain the soil in farm fields?
Plowing across the slope minimizes erosion by inhibiting water's ability to run down the slope. Plowing in the direction of the slope creates channels that water runs down, carrying the valuable topsoil with it.
Why does freezing and thawing cause sediment to move down hill?
The overall process is called Solifluction. If you imagine single particle (in the soil) on a gentle slope. When the water in the soil freezes, it expands and forces the particle away from the slope at right angles to the slope. When the ice then thaws gravity will cause the particle to settle back but the movement will be in a downwards direction, not in the direction it first moved. Add this movement together, repeate season after season and the particle gradually moves down slope.
What is positive slope?
If the slope (line)is in upward direction, it is called positive slope
What is water pouring over a steep slope in a straight-down direction which is 9 letters?
it's WATERFALL :)
In water waves water particles move in?
Water particles (molecules) move transversely to the direction of propagation of the wave. That means that as the wave moves out across the water, which is its direction of propagation, the water molecules move up and down (transversely) to create the crests and troughs of the wave.
What move does the denominator of the slope describe?
It is the difference between the coordinates of two points in 2-dimensional space, measured in the horizontal direction.
This part of a sand dune is characterized by a pronounced slope?
The gentle slope is in the upwind direction. The downwind direction has a steep slope called a slip face.
What is slope and why is the letter m used to represent slope in formulas?
The slope of a graph is a measure of the rate at which it rises. It is measured as the "rise"/"run" which is the ratio of the increase in height for each unit move in the horizontal direction. The slope of a line going from bottom left to top right is positive. "M" stood for the Modulus of slope.
In freshwater ecosystems does water move constantly in one direction?
In a river or stream, the flow of water is in one direction only.
