Why is a braided stream called a braided stream?
A stream is termed a braided stream because instead of having one main channel there are many parallel branches of the stream flowing near each other, forming a inter-weaving system of stream branches that resembles hair weaving in and out in a braid.
Is a tributary a large river that flows into a small river?
It is not. It is the other way round, a stream or smaller river flowing into a larger one.
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 a sentence using intravenous?

Do global winds affect planes?
The Jet-stream certainly does. Planes can use the jet-stream to reduce the amount of fuel it takes to travel from one side of the planet to the other. This is because - so long as the jet-stream is flowing in the same direction the plane wants to travel - it can 'push' the plane forward, which uses less fuel.
What is an adjective for slips?

What is the difference between ditch and stream?
A ditch is a man-made channel designed to drain water or redirect it, often dug along roads or fields. A stream, on the other hand, is a natural flowing body of water that moves continuously in a particular direction, such as a river or creek. While both can carry water, a ditch is typically more controlled and functional, while a stream is a natural feature of the landscape.
How can a new species with no predator affect other populations of species?
Their population could grow much faster, and they could compete with other species for food.
