The amount of water a stream or river carries in a given amount of time?
Its 'load' - Suspended load: All organic and inorganic material carried in moving water Dissolved load: All organic and inorganic material carried in solution by moving water Bed load: Coarse materials such as gravel, stones. These things move along the bottom of the river by rolling, or sliding.
What does a stream's ability to erode mainly depend on?
The amount of water in the stream and the gradient. However if you had two streams both with the same amount of water in them but with one stream flowing down a steeper slope (gradient) than the other, then the steep one has more ability to erode.
How does a stream carry materials?
A stream carries materials through a process called erosion, where water and sediments are transported downstream. The flow of water in a stream can dislodge and carry rocks, soil, and other debris, along with any pollutants present, to be deposited in another location. The speed and volume of water in a stream can impact how much material it can carry.
What is the amount of water a stream carries?
Discarge
What are two factors that determine the rate of stream erosion?
Two factors that determine the rate of stream erosion are the velocity of the water and the amount of sediment carried by the stream. Higher velocity and increased sediment load tend to enhance erosion by allowing the stream to transport more material and exert greater cutting force on the streambed.
What are Different types of load in a stream?
The different types of loads in a stream include bed load (particles moving along the stream bed), suspended load (fine particles carried in the water column), and dissolved load (chemical substances carried in solution). These loads contribute to the overall sediment transport and water quality of the stream.
Particles carried by a stream or river?
A load is the term for particles carried by a stream or river.
How does the amount of water carried by the 3 inches pipe compare to the amount of carried by the 1 inch pipe With the same water pressure?
54 times MORE volume
The fine particles floating in the water as they are carried along by a stream or river constitute?
Suspended load
Which sediments would a stream carry at 5 cm?
In a stream, heavy sediments settle quickly and finer sediments stay suspended in the water and get carried down stream farther, even as the stream shrinks in size.
What are the three factors that affect the rate of stream erosion?
The three factors that affect the rate of stream erosion are the velocity of the water flow, the amount and size of sediment carried by the stream, and the type of rock or soil through which the stream flows. Additionally, factors such as the slope of the land and human activities can also influence the rate of erosion.
What is load and how does it affect erosion?
Stream Load is the amount of material a stream can hold as it flows. As a stream flows it causes erosion, and this erosion is carried about as material in the stream. As too much is eroded, the extra material will fall to the bottom, or push it's way to the sides.
