Is the mouth of the Nile River upstream or downstream from its source?
Downstream. The source of a river is always upstream.
What is the downstream portion of a river?
the mouth of the river.?
When a capsized and floating on your back in a swift river current how should you position your feet?
You should position your feet facing downstream if you have capsized and are floating on your back in a swift river current.
Where does the river thames go after teddingtons lock?
It depends if you are going upstream or downstream. If you are going downstream, there are no more locks after Teddington and the river will be tidal until you reach the estuary where it discharges into the North Sea. If you are travelling upstream, there are several locks and the river passes through Windsor, Reading and Oxford among other places to reach its source in Gloucestershire.
Does a river flow from upstream to downstream?
No, a river only flows one way, they either flow upstream or downstream not both.
Why does river velocity increase downstream?
Velocity increases in a downstream direction because more sources of water combine depth and width. A constant flow of water would result in a higher river velocity.
Why does the velocity of the river increases downstream?
The velocity of the river increases downstream due to the cumulative effect of gravity pulling the water downhill. As the river flows downstream, it collects water from tributaries and gains more volume, leading to an increase in velocity to accommodate the larger volume of water. Additionally, friction between the water and riverbed is reduced downstream, allowing the water to flow more freely and pick up speed.
Do river beds get smaller as you go downstream?
Not necessarily.
What is soil that is carried downstream by a river called?
silt
What is a river current?
The current caused by the flow of a river downstream under the influence of gravity.
What speed does a river flow at upper course?
the river is steeper as the river flows downstream. addie x
What is the greatest velocity that a boat on a river can attain if the boat's motor moves at 10 km per hr and the river's current is 8 km per hr?
Boat WRT land, downstream 10 + 8 = 18 KMH Boat WRT land, upstream 10 - 8 = 2 KMH Boat WRT water 10 KMH
