Does water or motor oil flow faster?
Water is faster by it's lower viscosity, though oil viscosity is more temperature dependent than that of water.
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is what?
A steep gradient will force the water to flow downhill faster.
When is a stream likely to meander?
All streams meander to some extent. The most likely time is when flow is consistent and gradient is uniform. See Braided Stream. When a stream has eroded the steep valleys to genteler slopes, the stream flows more slowly.Now water in the stream erodes along the sides of the stream bed rather than along the stream bottom. === ===
Is a fall is faster than a flow?
there is a lot of difference between fall and flow... normally we use fall for the object moving without any support and in an angle nearer to 90 degree downwards.. whereas flow is moving with support nearer to 0 or 180 degree... Falling speed will be always according to law of gravity but flowing speed may vary which depends on the source of it... Example for fall: water fall Example for flow: slower than water fall : river flow faster than water fall : water coming out of fire engine
How do glaciers flow?
glaciers move slowly but when theres alot of rain the water and the glaciers move faster
In which side of a meander does water flow faster?
The side of a meander that it flows faster is in the clean water than in the dirty water
What is the outside of a river bend called?
Because the inside of the meander has deposited rocks and rubble building it up and making the water shallower whereas the outside of ther meander is being eroded by fast moving water.
4 Why does steam flow faster on the outside of a meander bend than on the inside?
Because it has further to travel
Compare the rate of water flow on the inside of a meander curve with that on the outside of the curve?
No
Where is the flow fastest in a meander?
The water usually flows fastest on the outside of the bend (meander) and flows the slowest on th einside of the bend.
Does water flow faster than sand?
yes water flows faster then sand
Is there a river which has a famous meander?
A meander is a bend in the coarse of the water flow in a river. There is not a river recorded with the most meanders, although rivers with the most meanders are located in Africa.
How is oxbow formed?
An ox bow lake is formed from a meander of a river that was cut off during a flood. Due to erosion, the meander edges of a river can approach quite closely. During normal flow, the water will simply follow the meander. During flood times, however, the water will move more quickly and with more force. This extra force can cause the water to take a shortcut over the land between the close points of the meander. If th eflood is brief, minimal damage will be done to the land, and the river will resume normal flow afterwards. If the flood takes longer, or if there was a huge mass of water, the land between the meander corners will be eroded or swept away. Once the floods subside, if deposition occurs at the points of the original meander, a horseshoe-shaped lake will remain: the remnants of the original meander
Does water flow faster in pools or riffles?
Water flows faster in riffles than in pools.
How does steepness of slopes affect erosion?
Erosion is driven by the movement of water, or water flow. The steeper the slope, the faster water will flow. The faster water flows, the quicker erosion occurs.
How does the flow of water change where a river bends?
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.
Does water flow faster through soil or stalagmite?
Yes because it travels faster
