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.

What is river velocity?
it is the speed of the flow in a river
A river's power to erode depends on?
There are three things a river's power to erode depends on that includes the slope of the river. The other two things are the volume of flow and the shape of its stream bed.
What term describes the speed of the flow of water in a river or a river stream?
velocity
What is the velocity of water?
Depends on the situation, a river can flow at a gentle 2 mph or the sea can race up a shallow beach at 20 mph.
What is the relationship between river depth and width and velocity of flow?
Manning equation if the hydraulic radius decreases then the velocity decreases
Does a river flow faster in mountains or on a plain?
Well....... It depends. If the river is really big and wide, and there are hardly any plants growing in it, and there are no rocks and the river is on a plain, then it will probably flow really fast. If the river is atiny little stream in the mountains, then it will probably flow slower. It all depends on the river
What is the velocity of a stream or a river at its local base level?
Velocity is the mean speed of flow over time (metres per second) measured either at apoint in a river channel or over a set distance.
How is a river delta formed?
A river delta is formed from the deposition of sediments carried by a river as the river enters an ocean, sea, lake, or another river. This is because the flow velocity decreases significantly and the fluid loses the ability to transport sediment.
A rivers power to erode depends on what three things?
A river's power to erode depends on a river's slope, the volume of flow, and the shape of the river.
Do the Russian Rivers flow into lakes or the Arctic Ocean?
It depends which river. Some flow into lakes, others flow into the Ocean.
Does the river velocity increase or decrease as you go downstream?
in relation to the flow dynamics of the water against standing water(resistance) and the widening if the river in relation to flow (expanding area in relation to pressure) it would be easy to see that the flow can diminish. what factors need to be taken into account is changes in the elevation of the flow ( decreasing elevation would obviously increase the flow and elevated areas would widen the river and create lakes) this can be seen by rapids and pooling in the river. so velocity would be a variable but the gallon per minute flow would be more of a constant please let me know if this helps you hockeylvn@hotmail.com
Why velocity of flow will decrease with increase in peripheral speed of francis turbine?
the peripheral velocity of the turbine is the around velocity. the increase in the velocity of the peripheral will decrease the velocity of the flow towards the turbine
