b) the drop in elevation of a stream divided by the distance the water travels
c) the water pressure at the bottom of the stream divided by the stream's width
d) the increase in discharge of a stream per unit drop in elevation

What is the definition of ground gradient?
According to the IFSTA Essentials of Firefighting 5th Edition, a ground gradient is Produced by an electrical current passing from a downed power line through the ground along the path of least resistance.
What is the definition of stream discharge?
stream discharge is the amount of water flowing through a space OR increases between its source or mouth
Which best explains the definition of stream of consciousness?
Narration that tries to imitate the patterns of real thought.
What is the geographic definition of mouth?
In geographical terms, the word mouth means an opening into a place such as a cave or volcano. It also means a place where a stream meets with another stream, such as the mouth of a river.
How do you use gradient in a sentence?
The gradient of the line was two-thirds.
What is the correct definition of stream gradient?
A stream gradient is the grade measure by the ratio of drop in elevation of a stream. It is expressed as feet per mile.
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge .?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
In a typical stream where the gradient in steep the discharge is?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
Stream gradient role on stream velocity?
Stream gradient, or the slope of the stream channel, affects stream velocity by influencing the speed at which water flows downstream. A steeper stream gradient typically results in a faster water flow velocity, as the force of gravity pulls water downhill more strongly. Conversely, a gentler stream gradient leads to slower water flow velocity.
What is a channel of a stream?
Gradient
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
The vertical drop of a stream channel over a certain distance is called the?
The vertical drop of a stream channel over distance is known as the Gradient.
What is the definition of stream velocity?
Stream velocity is the speed at which water flows in a stream or river. It is typically measured in units of distance per time (e.g. meters per second) and can vary based on factors such as gradient, channel shape, and discharge.
What is the steepness of a stream channel?
The steepness of a stream channel is typically measured by its gradient, which is the rate at which the elevation of the channel changes over a certain horizontal distance. The steeper the gradient, the faster the water will flow and the more erosive power the stream will have.
What is a stream slope called?
It is called the gradient.
What happens to the gradient of a stream as one gets closer and closer to the head of the stream?
increases
What happens to stream gradient as it moves downstream?
it decreses
