A fan-shaped formation that develops when a stream deposits its sediment at the base of a steep slope is called?
a delta
The steepness or slope of a stream channel in the direction of flow is the channel's?
stream channel
This term is the slope of a stream channel expressed as the vertical drop of a stream over a specified distance?
Gradient
What can naturally to produce a steeper slope in a stream?
[object Object]
What happens to the rate of stream erosion As slope increases?
as slope increases erosion rate increases (direct relationship)
A channel along which water is continually flowing down a slope?
A stream.
Does the carrying capacity increase as a stream's slope and discharge increases?
true
Explain how slope and flowing water effect water?
If the slope goes down stream, the water speeds up, if up stream the water wil pool and flood until it rises up and over the slope this is not right information if your doing a crossword puzzle from Andale.
Does a stream with a shallow or no slope have a high or low gradient?
low slope and gradient are the same thing - just measured in different units
How does changing the slope of the stream table produce different results?
Changing the slope of the stream table affects the speed and direction of water flow. A steeper slope creates faster water flow, which can result in more erosion and deposition. Conversely, a flatter slope slows down water flow, leading to less erosion and deposition. These changes in flow dynamics can cause differences in the shape and size of channels, as well as the amount and distribution of sediment carried by the water.
What is a river or a stream that flows into a larger river or stream called?
A stream or river called that flows into a larger stream or river is called a tributary.
Does the gulf stream flow over the continental shelf or the continental slope?
continental shelf
