What else can I help you with?
Which factor would have the least effect on the ability of a river to erode materials A slope of river B Discharge of the river C Size of the river's headwaters D shape of the riverbed?
it would be the size of the river's headwatersC: Size of the river's head watersTemperature of the river
Slope of parallel lines?
I don't exactly understand what you are trying to say in this question. However, one thing I can tell you about the slope of parallel lines is that they are equal. Parallel lines must have the same slope.
What is the flattening of a slope on a hill to prevent erosion?
flattening of slope is generally a method of cutting the hill slope in the shape of steps. these steps being horizontal instead of slopey is better to check erosion.
What kind of slope does close contour lines on a topographic map show?
elevation. the closer the lines the steeper the slope.
If contour lines on a slope are spaced wide apart then the slope is very steep true or false?
False. If contour lines on a slope are spaced wide apart, it indicates a gentle slope. Steep slopes have contour lines that are closely spaced together, reflecting a rapid change in elevation over a short horizontal distance.
What type of slope will erode quicker a gentle slope or a steep slope?
A steep slope, due to the velocity of the water/runoff.
The dirt or topsoil carried by running water is called slope?
The dirt or topsoil carried by running water is called sediment.
What happens to the ability of a river to erode land under it if its slope decreases?
If the slope of a river decreases, its ability to erode land will also decrease. A lower slope means the water flows more slowly, reducing the energy and force it can exert on the land. As a result, sediment transport and erosion potential will be reduced.
A rivers power to erode depends on what three things?
A river's power to erode depends on a river's slope, the volume of flow, and the shape of the river.
A river's power to erode depends on?
A river's power to erode depends on its flow velocity, the volume of water it carries, the type and size of sediment it transports, and the slope of the river channel. These factors influence the force and effectiveness of erosion by the river.
What is a sentence for topsoil?
If we don't plant some trees on this slope, the topsoil will wash away with the first rains.
Which change would cause the topsoil in West Virginia to increase in thickness?
an increase in biological activity. :)
How does ploughing across a slope of a hill help retain the soil in farm fields?
Plowing across the slope minimizes erosion by inhibiting water's ability to run down the slope. Plowing in the direction of the slope creates channels that water runs down, carrying the valuable topsoil with it.
Which dune do you think is likely to erode faster?
A dune with a steeper slope is likely to erode faster because it is more susceptible to wind and water erosion. Additionally, dunes located in areas with high winds or strong water currents will erode more quickly than dunes in calmer environments.
What are the factors that allow a river to erode materials?
The slope of the river, its discharge, and the shape of the riverbed.the velocity of the water. the hardness of the mineral its trying to erode, the harder it is the longer it will take to erode.
What can a fast slope of water make?
It can certainly erode a cliffside, which can do a bit of damage overtime. Also, if it is a lot of water and it moves quickly, it can cause flooding.
What three affect how fast a river flows and how much sediment it can erode?
A river's slope, volume of flow, and the shape of its streambed all affect how fast the river flows and how much sediment it can erode.
