In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is what?
A steep gradient will force the water to flow downhill faster.
How do gradient and discharge change between a stream's headwaters and its mouth?
At the headwaters (in the mountains) the gradient is steep, then as the stream moves into the foothills and onto the plains on its way to the sea where it has its mouth, the gradient gets less and less steep.
Does gradient of a stream increase or decrease downstream?
Decrease. The source of the river is usually in a mountainous area with a steep gradient.
What does a stream's ability to erode mainly depend on?
The amount of water in the stream and the gradient. However if you had two streams both with the same amount of water in them but with one stream flowing down a steeper slope (gradient) than the other, then the steep one has more ability to erode.
What is the difference between a young mature and old stream?
A young stream is typically characterized by a steep gradient, fast flow, and erosion of its channel. As a stream matures, it becomes more meandering, has a gentler gradient, and tends to deposit sediments in its channel. An old stream has a low gradient, meanders extensively, and has a stable floodplain with significant sediment deposition.
What are the the characteristics of the young River?
They thickk boi
What are the stages of stream development?
The stages of stream development are youthful, mature, and old age. In the youthful stage, the stream has a steep gradient with a narrow, V-shaped channel. In the mature stage, the stream has a meandering channel and a wider floodplain. In old age, the stream has a very flat gradient, a wide meandering channel, and a broad floodplain.
What is a youthful stream?
A youthful river is a river with a steep gradient that has very few tributaries and flows quickly. Its channels erode deeper rather than wider.
What are the features of a river channel that has a steep gradient?
If a river channel has a steep gradient, the river flows faster and has more erosive energy.
Where is the gradient found in a typical river longitudinal?
A river beginning high up in the mountains will fall sharply until the gradient levels out in the valleys. A river beginning in lower hills will naturally have a less steep gradient over all. Therefore, each river's longitudinal gradient will be different and there is no definitive answer.
