Depending on the topography & rainfall of any given place water will form a watercourse & be joined by others in the process of becoming a stream & then forming a river, to a lesser or greater extent. The hardness of the rocks or their porosity will also have an effect. The steeper the gradient will affect the flow of water & this in turn will affect erosion & weathering.
The white mold growing on the strawberry indicates a biotic change as it is caused by a living organism (fungus) that is breaking down and decomposing the strawberry. This can impact the shelf life and quality of the strawberry.
An electrical impulse moving down an axon is known as an action potential.
During the fall season, leaves change color because the green chlorophyll in the leaves breaks down and reveals other pigments, such as reds, oranges, and yellows. This change in pigments makes the leaves appear brighter and more colorful.
During fall, leaves change color to shades of red, orange, and yellow. This change occurs because the chlorophyll in the leaves breaks down, revealing other pigments that were previously masked. This process is triggered by the shorter days and cooler temperatures of autumn.
The change in velocity over time is known as acceleration. It measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing, either speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. Acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken for that change to occur.
The stream slows down and spreads out on the flatter ground
Often, flood plains are where the most fertile soil is. The rich alluvial soil washes down from mountains in rivers and streams, bringing with it rich nutrients which are perfect for growing crops. Flood plains, being close to rivers, also offer easy transportation of goods up and down waterways.
from streams and rivers that flow down mountains
The Rocky Mountains lie just west of the Great Plains. They stretch from Canada down to New Mexico and are known for their rugged terrain and diverse ecosystems. The Rocky Mountains act as a natural barrier between the Great Plains and the western states.
The Interior Plains are located in the central part of North America, between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. They stretch from Canada down to the Gulf of Mexico.
The geography in North Carolina is varied. There are coastal plains, the plains and the mountains. As you drive around the state, elevation goes up and down.
The broad flat valley floors that are carved out by wondering streams are called flood plain and the two methods of the streams eroding the rocks to form the flood plain are down cutting and lateral erosion.
Tiny remains of animals and plants in streams come from the mountains. When it rains, these remains are washed down the mountains toward the streams.
By two tectonic plates clashing against each other, forcing them either up or down
The rivers, after descending from the mountains deposit pebbles in a narrow belt of about 8 to 16 km in width lying parallel to the slopes of Shiwaliks. It is known as Bhabar. All the streams disappear in this Bhabar belt.
Plains receive eroded minerals from higher elevations, and erosion does not remove as much dead plant material as it does from hills and mountains. Precipitation tends to percolate minerals down into the soil.
Centuries of erosion carried soils, water, and nutrients down from the higher slopes.
