A river beginning high up in the mountains will fall sharply until the gradient levels out in the valleys. A river beginning in lower hills will naturally have a less steep gradient over all. Therefore, each river's longitudinal gradient will be different and there is no definitive answer.

What is the Danube river's gradient?
Danube river gradient
What are the features of a river channel that has a steep gradient?
If a river channel has a steep gradient, the river flows faster and has more erosive energy.
What does gradient of a river mean?
The gradient of a river is the steepness of its slope.
What is a rejuvenation river?
A rejuvenated river is a river with a gradient that is raised by tectonic uplift.
What is Rejuvenated river?
A 'Rejuvenated' river is a river with a gradient that is raised by tectonic uplift.
What does the River flow velocity depends on?
the gradient and how much friction there was. The gradient means how steep the land the river is on so if it is very steep them the velocity will be higher.
How does the gradient of river affect it flow?
The gradient of a stream affects the speed of the water as it moves downstream. The steeper the gradient, the faster the water moves.
What is the gradient of the river amzon?
The gradient of the River Amazon is very low. It is 1,000 miles or 1,610 kilometers upstream, and 100 feet or 30 meters downstream.
How gradient affects a stream erosive energy?
a stream or river that has low gradient has less energy for erosion
How does the gradient of a river affect its flow?
The gradient of a river is mostly flat or downhill which means that as the water flows it is affected by gravity. The steeper the gradient goes downhill, the more gravity will affect the water which will make the water flow faster (increases the velocity).
What is an example of a rejuvenated river?
Rejuvenated river is a river with a gradient that is raised by tectonic uplift. An example being the Nile River.
How do you calculate the roughness coefficient of a river?
the coefficient is found by using the equation: discharge= cross section area (hydraulic radius x gradient) /Manning'scoefficient
