More current..so you would have to get some sort of a perpeller thingy..something like that. A greater gradient of the riverbed and rainfall can both contribute to increased speeds.
the factors that decreases the speed of the river are
........................... and that's it
if a rivers slope increases, the water speed also increases
the speed of the water depends on the amount of water and the angle of downhill it is traviling.
steep slope and deep streambed
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.
hi there the reason for this is if you are mesuring the float time near the source of the river then it will take longer because the river needs to build up velocity as the river travels down steam is you take you data near the mouth of the river that float time will be shorter because the river velocity will have increased in speed i hope i helped out.
The term rapids refers to a body of water in a river, where the river bed is particularly steep. This results in a change in gradient, which in turns generates a change in velocity and turbulence.
it's velocity...it's velocity...
it is the speed of the flow in a river
These obstacles causes friction between water and rocks.This ultimately reduces the velocity of river water.The more roughness of the channel, the less the river`s velocity.
Years upon years of errosion and constant quick flow of water will likely cause a river to grow deeper. The best example of the result of long-term errosion and rough waters lies within the Grand Canyon. Inside the Grand Canyon lies the Colorado River.
Sprint rains and snow melt increase the volume and velocity of the river moving more material.
The speed of water at a river bend flows much faster and deeper on the outside of the bend. On the inside of the bend the velocity is much slower and shallower.
The technical term for the speed of a river is velocity.
the competence and capacity of a steam depend on a streams velocity and discharge. Because the velocity and discharge of a given stream are not constant , the competence and capacity of a stream are not constant . competence and capacity vary along a stream and change throughout the year.
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 !!
