Streams consist of moving water going down hill which has more kinetic energy and momentum than wind which is caused by the uneven heating of the planet (the heated air from one zone rises as the cooler air from another zone takes its place). It also might have to do with the fact that many particles can float in water but air is lighter than most things so the particles are heavier(not in the air, in the carried particles).

What can particles in a gas do?

They can seperate and they can also "flow"


How does the speed of water affect the sediment deposit?

The greater the streams rate of flow, the greater the amount of erosion, the larger the sediments.


How are glaciers able to carry large particles with ease?

Yes. The larger rocks require more energy to move, so may be the first to be left behind by a melting glacier.


What will happen to the particles of a gas if the gas is transferred from a small container to a much larger container?

The particles will just move away from each other, to fill the larger container.


How can water move rocks?

Even raindrops can start erosion that can move rocks by first moving tiny particles of soil and starting paths for tiny rivulets that can become streams. The faster water in streams can pick up larger objects and move them. The action of moving water can also cause particles of suspended sand to abrade rocks and sediments, corroding and displacing them until the rocks are no longer held in place. Water that collects in cavities or cracks in underlying substrate expands when it freezes, moving rocks by upward or lateral pressure from the expansion of the ice.


How do the particles in juice make it possible to pour?

The particles in a liquid are able to move around and change its shape so you can pour it into a glass. It is very simple if you think about it.


What is a state of matter when the particles are close together but can move?

If you are asking when particles are "able to move freely" that would be a liquid. If you simply ask about "moving" then that would be a solid, since in a solid the particles are still movings.


Why can particles move in melted rock?

In solids the particles are holded strongly.in other words there is a strong force of attraction.when rocks are melted the force of attraction gets weakenedand thus the particles are able to move easily.

How particles would move in gel electrophoresis according to size?

During gel electrophoresis, the smaller particles move faster than the larger ones. The end of the gel where the samples are loaded is called the sample origin. Samples move from the origin toward the opposite electrode according to size. At the end of the run, smaller particles will have migrated farther from the origin and the larger ones will be found closer to the origin
