At which point is more silt in the water in the mountains or on flatland?
I'm not a scientist but I myself, think that erosion is greater on a mountain slope. This is due to gravitational pull on soil, rocks, water... Being pulled down therefore, causing erosion. This is just my opinion.
How do you increase river current?
By adding more water or sloping the land.
Is a river more likely to erode the land by its headwaters or the mouth?
My DIGESTION SYSTEM!
What is the major factor that determines a streams ability to erode land?
The major factor should be its speed. The higher its speed, the more force the stream will hit the bank and bed, making the land erode more easily.
Why houses in coastal areas have sloping roofs?
They help the flow of rain off the roof. Flat rooves are more subject to leaking.
Why are there so many more carters on the moon than on earth's land?
No wind/weather to erode them
What happens to the ability of a river to erode land under it if its slope decreases?
If a rivers slope decreases, its ability to erode land under it decreases too. The slope determines the rivers velocity. The steeper the slope, the higher the velocity, the more erosion.
Is Holland the country having houses with sloping roofs?
Short answer: No. Longer answer: Although lots of houses there have sloping roofs, Holland is not 'the' country. Lots of houses have flat roofs too. In countries with lots of snow each winter, houses tend to have more sloping roofs; almost all have in the alps (Austria, Switzerland).
Why is the slope more gentle at the base of a mesa?
A mesa is, in general, an area of flat-topped land with fairly steeply sloped sides. As the sides of a mesa weather and erode, material will accumulate along the base of the slopes. This will decrease the steepness of the slope at the base.
Which will cause more erosion slow or fast moving river?
A fast-moving river will erode the land faster.
How do waterfalls change the surface of the earth?
They erode the rock and land, and also generally create more wildlife around the area
What is the land type in Texas?
