What factor does not affect stream size and speed?
Temperature typically does not have a direct impact on the size and speed of a stream. Factors such as rainfall, topography, and land use have a more significant influence on stream size and speed.
What is the largest size particle that a stream can carry?
The largest size particle that a stream can carry is typically referred to as the stream's competency limit. This limit is reached when the stream's velocity is no longer able to transport a particle of a certain size due to its weight and shape, causing the particle to be deposited on the streambed instead.
What happens to the size of the sediment a stream normally carries when it flows from a mountainous area to a flatter area?
The sediment size carried by the stream increases. EW
What stream characteristic is measured by the size of the largest particle that a stream can move?
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
Which factor does not influence stream velocity?
channel size<lies
What is the maximum size of particle a stream can transport?
The answer is carrying capacity.
What it is A stream that flows into river?
tributary is the collective term A tributary is a smaller stream which flows into a larger river. The name of an individual stream depends on the size of the stream. It may be a river or a creek or a canal if it is manmade.
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 is the size of a riffle?
It can be any size depending on the stream. But it's usually at a shallow point. Or did you mean RIFLE?
When stream flow decreases to below the critical settleing velocity of a certain size particle?
When stream flow decreases to below the critical settling velocity of a certain size particle, the particle will settle out of suspension and deposit on the streambed. This process is known as sediment deposition and is influenced by factors such as stream velocity, particle size, and sediment concentration.
What causes Split stream urination?
Some have it; there is no problem with it.
What is the difference between a stream bed and a stream bank?
A stream bed is the bottom sediment layer of the stream channel which is constantly inundated with water. It is a saturated layer of sediment inhabitated by macroinvertibrates, algae, macrophytes, and microbes. The particle size of the stream bed material (fine clay vs large rock and boulders) is dependent on geologic region, size of the stream, and stream velocity. The stream bank is the adjacent sloping walls that confine the stream on either side. They are typically not wet except in times of high flows. Banks typically can grow more terrestrial vegetation such as reeds, grasses, and trees.
