After a stream's discharge increases, it overflows its banks and a flood occurs.

After a stream's discharge increases, more water flows and the stream's velocity increases. Generally the width and depth will also increase.

What happens after stream discharge increases?
After a stream's discharge increases, it overflows its banks and a flood occurs.
When the discharge of a stream increases what happens to the streams velocity?
When a stream's discharge increases, erosive energy increases.
As surface runoff increases stream discharge will do what?
increase
What is the definition of stream discharge?
stream discharge is the amount of water flowing through a space OR increases between its source or mouth
What happens to stream speed if the discharge in a stream doubles?
If in a given stream the velocity doubles, the discharge: Choose one answer
What happens when stream order increases?
The width of the stream will increase as the order increases
Does the carrying capacity increase as a stream's slope and discharge increases?
true
What happens when stream temperature increases?
It freezes.
Why do most stream in the United states have a greater stream discharge in spring than summer?
Melting snow increases runoff in spring.
What happens to the gradient of a stream as one gets closer and closer to the head of the stream?
increases
How does an increase in a streams velocity affect its discharge and carrying capacity?
When the discharge of a stream increases, so does it's velocity. When it decreases, so does the velocity.
When the discharge of a stream increases what happens to the streams width?
When stream discharge increases, more water is flowing through a corridor. To accommodate that, the water will rise in the channel. Depending on the geometry of the channel, the width of wetted water surface may increase as the water fills a different geometry. If the width of the cross-sectional geometry is constant, however, only depth will increase, along with velocity.
