Did you mean: Desert streams are usually dry and carry water only after periods of rain. Such streams are said to be_____(Ephemeral).
Look it up in your geology book called "Earth" pg. 520 under "The Role of Water".

How does a stream carry materials?
Stream load is when solid matter is carried by a stream. Stream capacity depends on the velocity, the amount of water flow and the grade.
What is the measure of th largest particles a stream can carry?
Compedence m'dear.
How does deflation lower the surface of the desert?
Wind and/or water carry away fine sand and soil leaving behind larger pebbles and rocks called desert pavement.
Why are almost all the lakes in the great basin desert salty?
These lakes have no outlets to carry the salts away to the sea.
What factor is most likely to affect the amount of erosion done by a stream?
The slope or gradient of the stream is the most likely factor to affect the amount of erosion. Steeper slopes result in higher velocities, which in turn increase the erosive power of the stream. A steeper slope also allows the stream to carry larger sediment and potentially cause more erosion.
What is the measure of the largest particles of a stream can carry?
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
Is spores carried by water?
Spores are usually dispersed on the wind. If some spores land in a stream, the water will carry the spores downwards.
What is the ship of the desert used for?
to carry people and their things in the desert
What kind of water does the Gulf stream carry?

What is the largest size particle that a stream can carry?
Capacity
What stream characteristic is measured by the size of the largest particle that a stream can move?
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
What is the water that is available for drinking in the desert?
That which you carry in with you.
How do you carry 12000 liters of ice cream across a desert without melting?
You can carry 12000 liters of ice cream across a desert you can carry it in refrigerated trucks or fly it across in refrigerated cargo planes.
If a stream's discharge decreases how does it affect the stream's capacity?
The capacity of a stream is the maximum load it can carry. Capacity is directly related to a stream's discharge. The greater the volume of water in a stream is, the greater its capacity is for carrying sediment. So if a stream's discharge decreases, the stream's capacity also decreases.
What is the measure of th largest particles a stream can carry?
Compedence m'dear.
Which sediments would a stream carry at 5 cm?
In a stream, heavy sediments settle quickly and finer sediments stay suspended in the water and get carried down stream farther, even as the stream shrinks in size.
