Compared to what? Typically, water at the surface that makes contact with the air would absorb the most oxygen, while water below it would absorb less. Since a fast-moving stream would have lots of turbulence, then it have the water below the surface getting a good chance to change places with the water at the surface ofter, so there would be more water getting to the surface and absorbing oxygen. Also, the fast-moving stream would probably have more air bubbles created, and these bubbles would be in contact with water below the surface and help that water to absorb oxygen stored in the bubble.
What else can I help you with?
What bodies of water have more dissolved oxygen?
Fast flowing mountain streams have more dissolved oxygen than slow flowing rivers down in the flat valleys. The oxygenation is higher because the tumbling water of the mountain stream increases the area open to absorption.
Where is oxygen absorbed in the blood stream?
Oxygen is absorbed in the blood stream primarily in the lungs through the process of diffusion. When we breathe in, oxygen from the air enters the lungs and diffuses across the alveoli into the capillaries, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells and is transported throughout the body.
Why might stream water have more oxygen in it than pond water does?
Stream water typically has more oxygen because it flows constantly, allowing more oxygen from the air to dissolve into the water. In contrast, pond water is stagnant and can become depleted in oxygen over time due to limited exchange with the atmosphere.
What happens to organisms in a stream when nitrates leak from a factory?
Excess nitrates in a stream can lead to eutrophication, causing algal blooms that block sunlight and deplete oxygen when they decay. This can harm aquatic organisms, such as fish, by reducing oxygen levels and disrupting the food chain. High nitrate levels can also be toxic to some species of organisms in the stream.
What happens when you throw a yellow rock in a purple stream?
The yellow rock will sink or float in the purple stream based on its density and size. It may get carried by the current or get washed ashore depending on the stream's strength and direction. Over time, the rock may be worn down or shaped by the flowing water.
What is an example of flowing freshwater?
A mountain stream, or a river flowing lower down in the valley.
What sphere is not directly related to a mountain stream flowing over algae-covered rocks?
Astronomy is not directly related to a mountain stream flowing over algae-covered rocks. Astronomy deals with celestial objects and phenomena in outer space, while a mountain stream flowing over rocks is part of the Earth's hydrosphere.
Why doesn't a stream meander in mountains?
A stream flowing down a mountain is moving to fast to form meanders.
What kind of energy is transformed to fast-flowing mountain stream generates electricity?
kinetic
Where in a mountain glacier is the movement fastest?
In the middle section. Just like in a flowing stream.
What kind of energy is transformed to fast flowing mountain stream generates electricity?
kinetic
Would you expect a fast moving mountain stream or the Mississippi River to have more dissolved oxygen?
I personally would expect the mountain stream to have more dissolved oxygen, because I know that oxygen dissolves better in cold water.
Is there a word for the small stream of water flowing southward down a mountain?
I know of no special name for southerly flowing streams. 'Draining in a southerly direction' would perhaps be a description.
Does most erosion take place on the bottom if the meandering stream?
No: That is where deposition occurs. Erosion is where the river is flowing at its fastest, the mountain torrent stage.
When was Like an Ever Flowing Stream created?
Like an Ever Flowing Stream was created in 1991-05.
What rhymes with deem (flowing water)?
Stream.
What is a source of river?
The point at which a river forms is called a river source. The source may be from a spring, melted snow from a mountain top, or a lake with a stream flowing out from it.
