What else can I help you with?
What factor controls the competence of a stream?
Competence depends mainly on flow speed, with the power of the water generally increasing by the square of its speed.
What stream characteristic is measured by the size of the largest particle that a stream can move?
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
How does a river's velocity affect its competence and capacity?
the competence and capacity of a steam depend on a streams velocity and discharge. Because the velocity and discharge of a given stream are not constant , the competence and capacity of a stream are not constant . competence and capacity vary along a stream and change throughout the year.
What is the difference between the capacity and the competence of a stream?
The competence of a stream shows the maximum single load i.e. individual large rock, that the stream can move. It ignores the rest of the load in the river. The capacity would include the rest of the finer load so it is the whole load of the stream (including the large rock) Thus capacity will always be more than competence.
What is the major factor that determines a streams ability to erode land?
The major factor that determines a stream's ability to erode land is the stream's velocity. Higher velocity streams have more energy and can pick up and transport larger sediment particles, leading to more erosion. Additionally, the volume of water in the stream and the presence of steep gradients can also influence erosion.
If an argument is valid, then what is the key factor that determines its soundness?
The key factor that determines the soundness of an argument is the truth of its premises.
What is the primary factor that determines the velocity of a wave?
The primary factor that determines the velocity of a wave is the medium through which the wave is traveling.
What determines how far south the the cold air from the north pole travels?
The jet stream
What determines whether a stream will erode its bottom or its sides?
it erodes on its bottom
What The location of the determines how cold it is in the midwestern US.?
Polar jet stream
What determines whether a stream erodes it bottom or its sides?
it erodes on its bottom
What factor determines the vessels required equipment?
The length of the vessel determines what equipment is required.
