∙ 14y ago1. It's only the lower reaches and mouth of rivers that are tidal. 2. Tidal rise and fall does not always translate into comparable change in flow speed, buut normally does die to the water volume involved. However, often a river will have higher flow speeds than an area of nearby ocean with the same rise and fall. 3. Rivers are constricted at the edges and the estuary often has a 'funnel' venturi effect (sides AND depth) compressing the flow, which accellerates it.

Do high tides occur less often than low tides as often as low tides or more often than low tides?
same
How do rivers affect the ocean?
They add more water to the ocean.
How the delta formed?
I assume you mean river deltas. They are an accumulation of soil deposits from the river. The river picks up certain amounts of soil as the water travels down its length and once it empties into a lake or sea the soil falls on the same spot. This eventually builds up a small mound of soil.BETTER, MORE EASIER TO UNDERSTAND ANSWER:Deltas are formed when rivers pull dirt and silt from their banks into the current. When the river reaches the ocean it deposits the silt. Over time the silt builds up to create little Islands at the mouth of the river called a Delta.
What US river starts with M?
The Missouri River is the longest river in North America. The Mobile River is located in southern Alabama. The Milk River is in Montana.Mississippi river Missouri river
When does a river devlop meanders?
As the river winds from side to side, it tends to erode the outer bank and deposit sediment on the inner bank of the bend. Over time, the meander becomes more and more curved.
What will hapen if there is no moon?
We would have barely any light in the night and there would be no more tides in the ocean
What is more common a river flood or ocean flood?
A river flood is more common. ok
Why does the moon have greater influence than the sun on ocean tides?
because it is more closer to earth than sun
Where is tidal energy obtained from?
Tidal power operates by damming the mouth of a river or other water source that leads into the ocean. When the tides come in (tides are created by the gravitational pull of the moon) the dam lets water flow through. At the peak of high tide the dam is closed until the peak of low tide. Then the dam is opened and turbines are powered by the water flowing out into the ocean due to the water level difference. To learn more about how tidal power works check the related link.
What are adverse variances?
Adverse variances means unfavourable variance which is actual expenses are more than budgted variance.
What river in South America carries more water to the ocean than any other river in the world?
amazon river
Is it saltier more than average where a river flows into the ocean?
yes
Why is quebec more important than fort duquesne in relation to the st Lawrence river and the Atlantic ocean?
Quebec is more important in relation to St Lawrence River and Atlantic ocean because it is more accessible than Duquesne. Quebec also controls the source of River Lawrence.
Is the volume variance a controllable variance from a spending point of view?
No, the volume variance is controllable but not related to spending. The volume variance calculates the dollar impact of producing more or less than the budgeted production volume. No, the volume variance is controllable but not related to spending. The volume variance calculates the dollar impact of producing more or less than the budgeted production volume.
Are the ocean tides more pronounced in regions close to the equator - since the moon is more-or-less overhead throughout the year?
Not really. The major influence on the magnitude of the tides is topography; the arrangement of the seafloor and coastlines. So there are higher tides in places like the Bay of Fundy (between Canada and Maine) or in the Bristol channel on the west coast of England.
Is there an ocean named after Alexander Mackenzie?
No, there isn't an ocean named after him- only a river. See 'related links' for more information.
Why do the Moon's gravity have a greater effect on earths ocean tides than the suns gravity?
Even though the suns gravitational pull is stronger than the moons and does infact effect the tides slightly, the moon is close enough to pull the tides more than the sun. Its all distance related.
