What happens when gravity pulls water down a slope?
The water runs down hill. That's why all rivers lead to the sea.
What force moves water in a stream?
Gravity and the slope of the land combine to create the force that moves water in a stream. Gravity pulls the water downhill, and the slope of the land determines the direction and speed of the flow.
How does water move on a slope and why does it move in that direction?
Water moves downhill on a slope due to gravity, creating a force that pulls it in that direction. The slope provides a pathway for the water to flow, with the steeper the slope, the faster the water moves. Additionally, the surface tension of water allows it to cling together and form streams or rivulets as it flows downhill.
What happens when water flows down a slope?
it speeds up
The force that pulls everything downward causeing rain and soil to run down a slope?
Gravity is the force that pulls everything downward, causing rain and soil to run down a slope. This gravitational force is responsible for the movement of water and soil on Earth's surface.
How is a river potential energy changed into kinetic energy?
As gravity pulls water down a slope, the water's potential energy changes to kinetic energy that can do work.
Explain how the slope of an area affects runoff?
The slope of an area affects runoff by influencing the speed at which water travels over the surface. Steeper slopes result in faster runoff as gravity pulls water downhill more quickly, increasing the chances of erosion and flooding. In contrast, flatter slopes allow water to flow more slowly, reducing runoff and its associated risks.
Can anything walk on water?
yeh a pond skidder!!!!!!!!!!! A Jesus Christ Lizard can walk on water. This happens because the water controls a force called 'surface tension' which pulls a stretchy 'skin' over the top.
What is the slope of the water table called?
Gradient is the steepness of a slope.
What type of slope will erode quicker a gentle slope or a steep slope?
A steep slope, due to the velocity of the water/runoff.
How does the slope of an area affect its runoff?
It really depends on the slope. If it is a steep slope, the runoff will flow downhill faster and collect more at the bottom. If it is a pretty level slope, the runoff won't collect at the bottom of it. The water will just flood the top of the slope.
Why does water move underground?
Water moves underground through a process called infiltration, where it moves through pores and cracks in the soil and rocks. Gravity pulls the water downward towards the water table or aquifers, allowing it to flow through underground pathways. Factors such as slope, soil type, and rock characteristics can influence the speed and direction of underground water movement.
