What affects the amount of sediments a river can carry?
1. The quantity of water in the river. 2. The size of the river basin. 3. The course of the river 4. The shape of the river reliefs.
Does river load size decrease?
The size of the pebble will decrease down stream because the further downstream you go the quicker the river velocity. This means there will be more abrasion against the sides and bed of the river and the friction will be greater, this wears away the river load making it decrease in size. Increase velocity means that bigger material will be picked up by the river and carried as river load. More load in the river and increased size of load will mean more attrition and the river load will keep colliding into each other smoothening and rounding their shape. Brap brap !!
Which factor would have the least effect on the ability of a river to erode materials A slope of river B Discharge of the river C Size of the river's headwaters D shape of the riverbed?
it would be the size of the river's headwatersC: Size of the river's head watersTemperature of the river
Why why does bed load change as it goes downstream?
The size of the pebble will decrease down stream because the further downstream you go the quicker the river velocity. This means there will be more abrasion against the sides and bed of the river and the friction will be greater, this wears away the river load making it decrease in size. Increase velocity means that bigger material will be picked up by the river and carried as river load. More load in the river and increased size of load will mean more attrition and the river load will keep colliding into each other smoothening and rounding their shape. Brap brap !!
Does the rivers velocity affect the rivers bed load shape and size?
Faster river velocities are capable of carrying greater amounts of bedload and transporting them farther and faster. The shape of the sediments of the bedload would therefore be exposed to more physical weathering which would progressively round the sediments and also decrease their size.
What affects friction in a river?
the gradient of the slope The channel roughness The amount and size of bed load
What are the main contributing factors that cause back injuries in the workplace?
Factors includesThe weight of the load lifted· The range of the lift· The location of the load in relation to the body· The size and shape of the load· Distance and duration the load is carried· The number and frequency of lifts performed
What affects Bed load particle size?
what is bed load particle size
Which state of matter has a definite size but no definite shape?
A liquid has a definite size but no definite shape. In contrast, a solid has definite size and shape, and a gas has no definite size or shape.
How and why does the load transported by river vary?
The load in a river can be transported in 4 ways. The first is Traction. It is when rocks and boulders are rolled along the river bed by the force of the water. The second is Saltation this is when stones and pebbles are bounced along the river bed. The third is Suspension this is when fine particles like silt floot along in the water. The last is Solution which is when the material dissolves in the water. These different methods are used depending on the size of the load to be transported and the energy of the river. A river needs little energy to transport a small mineral by solution but lots of energy to transport heavy boulders it by traction.
Does congruent mean having the same size and shape?
Yes, it does. A congruent shape has the same shape and size as another shape. A shape that is similar is the same shape, just a different size, like a proportion.
