How would a reduction in friction in a stream channel affect the streams velocity?
Kiara739
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.

Stream velocity is faster in a?
Stream velocity is dependent of four things. They are, the flow type, the gradient, the channel shape, and the discharge of the stream. Streams will flow faster in narrow channels on steeper grades.
Why do jet streams have such a high velocity?
Because of the high altitude, these winds are not subject to much friction, hence they are faster than winds closer to earth's surface.

Do streams lose velocity when they join larger streams?
false
Ture or false streams lose velocity when they join larger streams?
ture
How does a streams gradient affect of velocity?
The steeper the gradient, the higher the velocity of flow.
What are high altitude high velocity of air called?
jet streams
What are altitude high velocity winds?
Jet Streams.
When do streams and rivers deposit sediment?
When their velocity decreases
How does an increase in a streams velocity affect its discharge and carrying capacity?
When the discharge of a stream increases, so does it's velocity. When it decreases, so does the velocity.
What are high-altitudes high velocity rivers of air are called?
Jet streams
High-altitude high velocity rivers of air are called what?
Jet streams
