New york'S most common form of physical weathering?
Water erosion, mostly by streams and rivers that have a high gradient and discharge.
Why do jet streams flow parallel to isobars?
Because jet streams are above the friction layer, they have a negligible effect. The wind is balanced by the Coriolis effect and the pressure gradient so that the winds flow parallel to isobars.
Why is a swamps more productive than a streams?
Have to much water flow
Does a streams discharge ever change?
All the time.
What did Darwin conclude after his trip?
Species are modified to their specific environments, and that is why they are not identical all over the world.
How do gradient and discharge change between a streams headwaters and it's mouth?
Q-Tips
How does a streams gradient affect of velocity?
The steeper the gradient, the higher the velocity of flow.
Are bedrock channels more likely to be found near the head or near the mouth of a stream?
In their headwaters, where the gradient is steep, most rivers cut into bedrock. These streams typically transport course particles that actively abrade the bedrock channel.
How do the gradient and discharge of a stream change from its headwaters to its mouth?
The discharge for a single stream should not change much from the headwater to the mouth. The exceptions to the mouth would be if another stream joined the main stream, which would increase the discharge or if you loose a significant amount of water to infilitration, which would decrease the discharge. The gradient should be high at the headwaters and gradually decrease downstream where it should be low at the mouth. Of course differences in lithologies or secondary streams can change the gradient for a short distance, thought the overall profile should fit the expected model.
Where are headwaters of the MS River?
the Mississippi headwaters is a kind of thing that is located in the Mississippi river. The Headwaters of a river are it's origins. The multiplicity of small streams that converge to form the main body of the river proper.
