Meanders form where the supply of sediment is greater than its removal. This is not typical of mountain streams. These are likely to be minor tributaries.

Is a fast moving stream made of cells?

No, a fast moving stream is not made of cells. A stream is a body of water running in a channel, typically flowing towards a larger body of water like a river or ocean. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of living organisms.


When a charged balloon placed near a stream of water it attracts to it . but when you do it again the stream of water repel the charged balloon?

This effect occurs due to the polarization of the water molecules. Initially, the balloon causes the water molecules to align in such a way that the positive side is attracted to the balloon. Upon repetition, this alignment can reverse, leading to a repelling force between the balloon and the stream of water.


Is a mountain lion a decomposer or a consumer?

A mountain lion is a consumer because it feeds on other organisms such as deer and smaller mammals for energy. It does not decompose dead organic matter like decomposers such as fungi and bacteria do.


Why is bed load only found in mountain streams with high gradient?

Bed load is mainly found in mountain streams with high gradients because the fast-flowing water in these streams has enough energy to transport larger sediments like rocks and boulders along the stream bed. In contrast, lower-gradient streams do not have enough energy to move larger particles, resulting in finer sediments being transported as suspended load or dissolved load instead of as bed load.


What are some biotic factors on a mountain?

Some biotic factors on a mountain include vegetation such as trees, grasses, and shrubs, as well as animals like birds, mammals, and insects. These living organisms play a crucial role in the mountain ecosystem by contributing to biodiversity and interacting with each other.

Loop like curve in a river or stream?

A curve in a mature or old age river is called a meander and forms when the slightest curve forms and starts to grow larger. This is because on the inside of a curve water moves slower and deposits sediment, and on the outside the exact opposite happpens when faster moving water pounds against the curve making it bigger. In an old age stream when the meanders get big enough the section of river that's curved can actually be cut-off during a flood because water always wants to take the quicker path. The lake that forms when this happens is called and ox-bow lake. It is called this beacue the ox-bow was put on oxen and used to plow fields around the time this kind of lake was named and they had simmilar shapes.

What do you call a smaller branch of a river?

A smaller river which joins a larger one is called a tributary. If a river branches and later these branches re-connect - as in flowing around around an island - the smaller branch is sometimes called an arm. If the branching occurs near the sea, and the arms don't reconnect, then the arms are referred to as a delta.i like chicken
