What determines whether a stream like the one shown on the right erodes its bottom or it and side?
The erosion of a stream's bottom or sides is primarily determined by factors such as water flow velocity, sediment load, and the composition of the streambed materials. Higher flow velocities can lead to increased bottom erosion, while slower flows may promote side erosion, especially if vegetation or bank materials are weaker. Additionally, the presence of obstacles like rocks can influence where erosion occurs. Ultimately, the interplay of these factors dictates the stream's erosional behavior.
What determines if a stream erodes on its bottom or its sides?
The erosion of a stream's bottom or sides is primarily determined by factors such as water velocity, sediment load, and the geology of the streambed and banks. Higher water velocities can lead to increased bottom erosion, especially in areas with softer sediments. Conversely, when the stream's flow slows down or encounters resistant materials, lateral erosion of the banks may occur. Additionally, the presence of vegetation can stabilize banks, influencing the erosion patterns.
How could a stream change a mountain?
It erodes away the part of the mountain that the stream is on.
What curve formed when water erodes side of a stream?
meander (pronounced mee yan der)
What is Stream bed?
A stream bed is the bottom (floor) of the stream.
Why does a stream bottom erode more deeply when its water level rises in a flood?
The stream bottom erodes more deeply when its water level rises in a flood; therefore, the more volume and sediments water carries along, the more bottom of a stream is being eroded away thus it deeper.
How do streams get wider?
a stream gets wider when it gets older and the water erodes the bed of the river to make it wider
What determines how far south the the cold air from the north pole travels?
The jet stream
What is curve formed when water erodes one side of a stream?
The curve formed when water erodes one side of a stream is called a "meander." As the water flows, it exerts more force on the outer bank, leading to increased erosion there, while sediment is deposited on the inner bank, creating a bend in the stream. This process can lead to the formation of pronounced curves over time, contributing to the characteristic winding shape of meandering rivers.
When is a stream likely to meander?
All streams meander to some extent. The most likely time is when flow is consistent and gradient is uniform. See Braided Stream. When a stream has eroded the steep valleys to genteler slopes, the stream flows more slowly.Now water in the stream erodes along the sides of the stream bed rather than along the stream bottom. === ===
