What are features of a river channel that has steep gradient?
the river flows faster and has more erosive energy
What does a river flow in?
whether they are deep or wide, slow or fast flowing, shallow or steep gradient, a river flows in a channel
What does the River flow velocity depends on?
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.
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 gradient of a river mean?
The gradient of a river is the steepness of its slope.
What are the the characteristics of the young River?
They thickk boi
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.
What river erodes its channel wider rather than deeper?
A mature river erodes its channel wider rather than deeper. The gradient of a mature river is less steep than young rivers, and the water flows more smoothly. Examples of mature rivers are the Thames, Mississippi, and Ohio rivers.
What are three features found in a young river?
three features of a youg river are rapids waterfalls and steep turns
In a typical stream where the gradient in 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 .?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
What is a younger river?
[or 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.
