Stocks
Stocks relate to a point of time.
Stocks do not have time dimension.
Stocks are affected by flows, e.g., the more is the saving, and the more is the stock of capital.
Some stocks have related flows such as money supply and change in money supply.
A stock would be a picture of what something looks like at any point in time. The amount of inventory on hand at the end of the year would be an example of a stock.
Flows
Flows relate to a period of time.
Flows have a time dimensions.
Flows are affected by stocks.
Some flows have related stocks, such as flow of water and quantity of water in a tank.
A flow would measure activity over a period of time. How many pieces of inventory were manufactured, how many were sold during the past year would be examples of a flow.
Renewable resources, non-renewable resources, and flow resources. Renewable resources include sunlight and wind, non-renewable resources are things like fossil fuels and minerals, and flow resources are elements like water and soil that are continuously replenished by natural processes.
energy from the sun, water, wind and things like that.
Groundwater flow direction can differ between shallow and deep aquifers depending on factors such as topography, geology, and well pumping. In some cases, flow directions may be consistent, while in others they can vary due to differences in hydraulic conductivity and local conditions. Monitoring and understanding these variations are important for managing groundwater resources effectively.
People usually call Inexhaustible resources Flow resources. Or as i say for short, but others do too. Wind, sunlight, and water are all Flow resources. Flow resources can only be used at a certain time or place. Like, people can only use the power of wind when wind is blowing (you cant fly a kite if wind is not blowing.) I know i am ten years old, but i just looked it up and saw a wrong answer so i corrected it from my science packet. Hoped this helped a lot! BYE!! <3 :-)
Hydrogeology is the study of the distribution and movement of groundwater in the soil and rocks of the Earth's crust. It involves understanding the properties of aquifers, groundwater flow dynamics, water quality, and the interaction between surface water and groundwater. Hydrogeologists use this knowledge to manage and protect water resources for various uses.
businesses purchase what they use to produce goods and services. Resources are in the form of labor, natural resources, capital, and entrepreneurship, all of which are supplied by households.
The flow concept is the one in which goods and services move from person to person. In the stock concept, stocks build up or get depleted, they do not flow.
Stock resources are natural resources that are available in finite quantities and can be replenished over time, such as forests, fish populations, and groundwater. They are distinct from flow resources, which are continuously renewed, like sunlight or wind. Stock resources can be used sustainably, but overexploitation can lead to depletion. Effective management is crucial to maintain their availability for future generations.
Flow measures something that can move, while a stock measures those things that are immovable
flow
It is a flow.
Flow
yes, production is a stock concept and income is a flow concept.
examples of stock variables and flow variables stock: saving,capital,labour force, wage rate, flow: income,investment,balance of payment
Network flow graphs can be used to optimize the flow of resources in a complex system by modeling the relationships between different components and identifying the most efficient paths for resource allocation. By analyzing the flow of resources through the network, bottlenecks and inefficiencies can be identified and addressed, leading to improved overall system performance.
because they flow
