Because we know that water cannot flow uphill, the flow must go from higher contours to lower ones.

What do Contour lines that bend to form a v shape indicate?
It means a small difference in elevation, let's say, for an example, a river.
Where can meanders be found?
Meanders can be found in a river or stream. A meander is a curve or bend. It is also a winding path.
Can magnesium easily bend?
Elements in Group I and II can easily bend, but cannot breakdown easily. So as Mg is in Group II, it can bend easily but does not break easily.
What are layers of rock that bend can produce a downward fold know as?
A Syncline is where lays of rock bend downwards and then curve up. An Anticline is the opposite: layers of rock bend upwards and then down.
Where a streambed curves deposition occurs?
Deposition occurs on the point bar in a meandering stream. The point bar is located in the inside of the bend of a meander where the current is the slowest. The slower current allows for deposition.
How must contour lines bend to indicate a stream valley?
contour lines bend in a V shape pointing uphill because it flows the other direction
How must contour lines bend on a topographic map to indicate a stream valley?
it would bend towards the point of origin or where it starts.
How do you find direction of flow of a river?
It depends on which way the contour lines bend. For example, if the bend was facing northeast then the stream flows Northeast. the bend is this if you don't understand... -_- -> ) +++ I'm afraid your illustration is rather ambiguous. If you imagine the contour lines to trace a parenthese as you've used, the concave side would face downstream: Flow ---> then the contour is ( ---> Or if you think of the contours tracing a capital letter U with its open end pointing North, the stream will flow North. A better way to understand it is to study the countour lines and streams on a map, especially if of an area you know well!
Why do the lines bend upward on a contour map when indicating a stream?
The lines bend upward to show that the stream is running the opposite way. (For example, if the lines are pointing north, the stream is running south) **Contour lines bend toward the source when they go over a river/stream.
How do you know what direction a stream goes on a contour map?
you can determine the direction a stream flows on a contour map by seeing which way the contour lines bend.
How must a contour line bend on a topographic map to indicate a stream valley?
it would bend towards the point of origin or where it starts.
How do you interpret contour lines?
A. The way that contour lines bend when they cross a stream is always upstream. B. Circles that are closed contours signify hills. C. Closed contours with short lines pointing downward are closed depressions and have no outlet. D. Gentle slopes are characterized by lines farther apart, while steep slopes are characterized by lines closer to one another. E. Maximum relief is the different elevations between highest and lowest points in an area.
What is a bend or curve in a stream channel?
stream channel
What do Contour lines that bend to form a v shape indicate?
It means a small difference in elevation, let's say, for an example, a river.
Looping bend in the path of low gradient stream?
Meander.
What is a looplike sweeping bend in a stream called?
lakes &rivers
What is a bend in a river or stream where the water changes direction called?
a meander
