Stream gradient role on stream velocity?
An increase in gradient will generally increase stream velocity.
What will happen to the stream if the water table rises?
The water in the stream will also rise.
When food passes through the digestive system sugar passes in to the blood stream... where and how does this happen?
This occurs in the small intestine by deffusion into the blood stream.
What is the effect of a bacterial infection on the hematocrit?
Its really simple if you think about it. if you have a bacterial infection your white blood cell count would increase because as the wbc's are fighting off the infection they die off releasing a chemical into the blood stream that tells your body to increase production of white blood cells. so the hematocrit would have a thicker buffer layer. the buffer layer being the white blood cells. With a higher production of white blood cells the rbc production would very slightly decrease which would decrease the ratio of rbc to whole blood volume.
What are the precautions for landslide?
Precautions for landslide - (I) if you remain or arecaught suddenly at home move to a second story if possible (II) if you are near a stream or channel , be alert for any sudden decrease or increase of water flow and for a change from clear to muddy water (III) be especially alert if you are driving (IV) whenever you are in the path of landslide or debris flow , move away as quickly as possible
Does a stream's velocity increase or decrease downstream?
increase
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.
Why might a stream volume increase or decrease?
pressure, temperature, possibly somethign else
Stream gradient role on stream velocity?
An increase in gradient will generally increase stream velocity.
When does a stream discharge decrease?
Yea
Why a stream discharge increase?
Stream discharge would increase if additional water enters it, such as from a rain storm or from melting snow.
Which change at a particular location in a stream usually causes more sediments to be deposited at a location?
Decrease in stream velocity
Which change at a particular locating in a stream usually causes more sediment to be deposited at that location?
Decrease in stream velocity
Which change at a particular location in a stream usually causes more sediment to be deposited at that location?
Decrease in stream velocity
Which change at a particular location in a stream usually causes more sediment to be deposition at that location?
Decrease in stream velocity
What happens when stream order increases?
The width of the stream will increase as the order increases
How do the gradient and discharge of a stream change from its headwaters to its mouth?
The discharge for a single stream should not change much from the headwater to the mouth. The exceptions to the mouth would be if another stream joined the main stream, which would increase the discharge or if you loose a significant amount of water to infilitration, which would decrease the discharge. The gradient should be high at the headwaters and gradually decrease downstream where it should be low at the mouth. Of course differences in lithologies or secondary streams can change the gradient for a short distance, thought the overall profile should fit the expected model.
