Which carries more sediment a fast moving river or a slow moving river?
Fast moving. sediment is heavy it settle out in slow water. But a river that just became slow after being fast looks like it has the most, because of all the settling going on.
Why does a river during a heavy flood transport trees and large boulders?
When you increase the amount of water in a river, it flows faster. A fast moving current in water carries an enormous amount of momentum, capable of moving large objects. TeamDianite for life join mcbattlecraftgm.tk for epic minecraft factions/mianite server you know you want to
Which example shows how earth's surface has been changed by fast moving water?
the answer is a canyon
How do water erosion effect the earths surface?
Some streams or rivers can go really fast through plateaus and stuff, on the way they can wash the sediments and rocks that were there before. This causing erosion.
Which of these is a form of moving surface water?
We typically think of surface water as primarily existing in lakes and rivers. Moving surface water would primarily be in the form of rivers and streams. Subsurface water moves as well, though slowly, in many aquifers. Indeed, even a glacier moves water in its solid form. There is, of course, turnover of water in any lake or swamp that has an outlet, so that water moves in a technical sense, though the characterization of moving water would typically be reserved for water moving fast enough to be noticeable. There does not seem to be a scientific criterion for how fast water needs to move to be considered "moving" in the macroscopic sense. a stream A+
Does fast moving water carry less sediment than slow-moving water?
No. All other things being equal, fast water carries more sediment.
Why would a fast flowing river have mostly sand sized particles of sediment?
Because the fast flow of water pushes the sand , to make it move, however slow moving water doesn't push over it as hard
Which carries more sediment a fast moving river or a slow moving river?
Fast moving. sediment is heavy it settle out in slow water. But a river that just became slow after being fast looks like it has the most, because of all the settling going on.
Does fast moving water carry more or less sediment?
Fast-moving water can carry more sediment than slow-moving water.
What material would most easily be carried in suspension by a slow moving stream?
Slow moving water will carry materials like sediments off of the rocks on the river bank. Slow moving water might also carry boats for example much more easily that fast moving water.
What is the process in which fast water carries large particles and slow water carries small particles?
erosion
Which erodes faster fast or slow moving water in a river?
Fast moving water will erode faster because it is more powerful than slow moving water.
How fast does a flood go?
As fast as the water is moving.
Does slow moving water cause erosion or fast moving water?
yes and no well it cant cause fast water and it will weather slower then as if water would at a fast current so it will weather just slow.
How can you tell that the particles in a cup of water are moving slower or faster?
hot water has fast moving particles, and cold water has slow moving particles
Is wind a fast agent in erosion?
For all practical purposes, there are only three agents through which sediments are carried: wind, water, and ice. Moving water can be an extremely quick and efficient agent of erosion. Ice is not so fast. Wind lies somewhere between, for the most part only being able to carry the smaller particles of sediment.
In what ways does a river carry it's load?
Fast-moving water actually lifts sand and other, smaller sediment and carries it downstream. Water dissolves some sediment completely. Most large sediment falls to the bottom and moves by rolling and sliding.
