What does the rate of stream discharge has to do with erosion and deposition?

rate of stream discharge is directly proportional to the erosion i.e the higher the velocity of the stream then it will erode the rock rapidly while the deposition process will be slow when the velocity will be high.

What are 4 factors that affect a wave's rate of erosion?
Erosion,weathuring,andclimate
What happens to the rate of erosion when the slope is increased?
Erosion increases due to the effective gravitational gradient.
Method used to estimate the absolute age of a stream is to?
measure the rate at which the stream erodes its bed i think i am not sure
What are some factors that affect the rate and direction of succession?
erosion of the banks of the pond
What type of lithium battery has a flat discharge rate?
the answer to this question is d : polycarbon monfloride
What are the three factors that affect the rate of stream erosion?
it is gradient, discharge and load.
What will cause an increase in the rate of erosion ad deposition?
the rate of water will
How can absolute age based on rates of erosion and deposition be inaccurate?
The absolute age of rock is determined by the amount of radioactive decay, not by the rate of erosion and deposition.
What happens to the rate of stream erosion As slope increases?
as slope increases erosion rate increases (direct relationship)
A state of dynamic equilibrium exists in an erosional depositional system when?
the rate of erosion is the same as the rate of deposition.
Explain three factors that affect the rate of stream erosion?
whats the anwer?
Where is the stream eroding the bank?
Stream Bank erosion is the wearing away of the banks of a stream or river. This is distinguished from erosion of the bed of the watercourse, which is referred to as scour. The roots of trees growing by a stream are undercut by such erosion. As the roots bind the soil tightly, they form abutments which jut out over the water. These have a significant effect upon the rate and progress of the erosion.
How gradient afects a streams erosive energy?
what are three factors that affect rate of stream erosion
How does runoff affect the rate of erosion?
As runnoff travels it forms tiny grooves and as a stream runs down erosion happens as the rocks get carried away. Poops
How does slope affect erosion and deposition?
A steep slope will experience accelerated erosion and a low level of deposition because water moves more rapidly on a steep slope than on a lesser slope. Rapidly moving water has more energy in it will exert a greater force on the slope causing particles to become carried away and for this reason the rate of erosion is higher and the rate of deposit is lower. On a lesser slope, the water moves more slowly and does not have as much energy to carry particles away. The lesser the slope, the slower the water moves, the less energy it has and the rate of deposit is higher.
How is a body of water's rate of flow related to its rate of deposition?
As the rate of flow decreases, the rate of deposition increases
Why does a stream discharge increase?
In the upper course of a river, there is a V-shaped valley with a steep gradient as the water is constantly using up the majority of its energy to overcome friction. As a river flows downstream, the valley becomes a U-shape and the gradient decreases. This is because there is less gravitational pull towards the sea/lake level. Also towards the middle and lower courses, there are more tributaries and confluences which will add more discharge to the river basin. This is constantly happening and thus, as it flows downstream it increases. The velocity also increases as there is more discharge.
