What causes river waters to flow?
A slope and the force of gravity.
How does gravity and friction affect the rocks and earth on a mountain slope?
you have sex :)
How does a slope affect velocity?
the steeper the slope, the faster the velocity because the pull of gravity will be applied more since the resistance will be lower.
How does elevation affect river drainage?
A river naturally flows from high to low elevations by gravity.
How does gravity affect materials on a slope?
It creates a creep and a slump, causing trees, bushes, ect. to curve/slant.
How do a river slope and volume of affect the river sediment load?
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.
What three factors affect how a fast river flows?
It is Slope , Volume of flows , and Streamed Shape.
Is there a river that flows against gravity?
Usually, there are only small portions of a river that flows against the slope of the land , or gravity. I work at a park on the White River in Hamilton County IN. We are in a huge bend in the river and the White River flows northward at this point, against the slope for about a 1/4 of a mile. This happens on the St. Joseph River in northern Indiana and a co-worker tells me the Cuyahoga in Ohio also has this phenomena. I reckon it is an uncommon, but not rare, situation.

How do river's slope and volume of flow affect the river's sediment load.?
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.
