Where is the velocity of a stream fastest?
In the middle, I think
Stream velocity is faster in a?
Stream velocity is dependent of four things. They are, the flow type, the gradient, the channel shape, and the discharge of the stream. Streams will flow faster in narrow channels on steeper grades.
What is stream velocity?
another way to kil someone
How does a stream carry materials?
Stream load is when solid matter is carried by a stream. Stream capacity depends on the velocity, the amount of water flow and the grade.
Which part of the stream system has the highest average flow velocity?
the middle of the stream and just under the surface
What is the minimum water velocity needed in a stream to maintain the transportation of the smallest boulder?
100cm/s
What is a current meter?
it is an instrument to determine the velocity of flow at required point in a flowing stream.
What pebbles and boulders carried in a stream called?
load or stream load.
Stream gradient role on stream velocity?
An increase in gradient will generally increase stream velocity.
What is an instrment commonly used for measurement of velocity of stream?
A stream gauge is the instrument which is commonly used for the measurement of velocity stream.
How does the velocity of a stream effect its carring capacity?
The higher the velocity of the stream the larger carrying capacity it has.
Why do boulders become smaller as they are moved down a stream bed?
sediment
What are bed loads in a stream?
the sand, gravel, boulders, or other debris transported by rolling or sliding along the bot-tom of a stream.
What factors determine velocity of stream?
Speed and direction determine velocity
What is the difference between stream discharge and stream velocity?
Stream discharge is a product of the velocity and the area of the stream (velocity x width x depth), and has units of volume per time (e.g. cubic feet per second, cubic meter per day, etc). Stream velocity is the vector describing the speed of the water and has units of length per time (feet per second, meter per second). Stream discharge is relatively constant as you move up and down a stream, while velocity will change predominately as you change depth. The velocity of water is lowest near the bed of the stream, and highest at the surface.
When the discharge of a stream increases what happens to the streams velocity?
When a stream's discharge increases, erosive energy increases.
What depth should a velocity sensor be placed to estimate a stream's average velocity if it's 12.5 meters deep?
At what depth should a velocity sensor be placed to estimate a stream's average velocity if it is 12.5 meters deep?
