What lies along the subtropical jet stream?
High or low pressure lies along the subtropical jet stream, depending on the time of year. The pressure gradient follows the path of the jet stream.
What high altitude winds that occur in places where trade winds and polar easterlies meet prevailing westerlies?
The "Jet Stream".
New york'S most common form of physical weathering?
Water erosion, mostly by streams and rivers that have a high gradient and discharge.
Find the slope of an ant hill 40 inches wide and 18 inches high?
18/20=9/10
What is a characteristic that diffusion and active transport have in common and both process?
Both involve the transport of materials across the cell membrane. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and requires ATP. Diffusion goes with the concentration gradient, or from high to low concentration, and does not require ATP. ATP is the standard unit of energy in cells.
What is gradient or slope?
Slope is rise/run, or vertical height/horizontal distance. If a hill rises 100 feet high over a horizonatl distance of 1000 feet, it has a slope of 100/1000 = 0.10. Thais one -tenth slope, or one-tenth gradient, which is a 10% grade.
What is a high gradient?
A high gradient refers to a rapid change in elevation or slope over a short distance. It is often used to describe steep terrain, such as mountains or cliffs, where the ground rises or falls quickly. High gradients can present challenges for hiking, biking, or driving due to the steep incline or decline.
Why is the slope called the rate of change?
On a graph, the slope does tell you the rate of change of y with respect to x. If the slope is steep, that means that there is a high rate of change of y with respect to x. If the slope is shallow, then y is not changing that rapidly with respect to x.
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.
A slope that is would most likely produce a mass movement.?
A slope with a steep gradient, loose soil, and high moisture content is most likely to produce a mass movement. Such conditions weaken the slope's stability, increasing the likelihood of landslides or debris flows. Additionally, factors like vegetation loss and seismic activity can further destabilize the slope, triggering mass movements.
What lies along the subtropical jet stream?
High or low pressure lies along the subtropical jet stream, depending on the time of year. The pressure gradient follows the path of the jet stream.
What are the most prominent features of a narrow V-shaped valley where the stream profile drops rapidly?
Some prominent features of a narrow V-shaped valley with a stream profile that drops rapidly include steep, rocky walls, minimal vegetation due to the harsh environment, a high-gradient stream flowing through the valley, and the potential for waterfalls and cascades as the stream descends quickly.
What is a flatter slope?
flatter slope is the slope that is near y-axis. Low slope = flatter steeper slope is the slope that near x-axis. High slope = steeper source: my super braaiiin
What does steep gradient pressure produce?
high winds
What does it mean when you are going with the concentration gradient?
Going with the concentration gradient is basically the process of diffusion. Molecules going from a low concentration to a high concentration would be going with the concentration gradient. Going against the concentration gradient would be the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration
What does steep air pressure gradient cause?
High winds
How deep can a stream erode?
· The stream will erode down through its bed to achieve the base level of erosion throughout its course. If this base level is low, then the stream will rapidly cut through underlying strata and have a steep gradient, and if the base level is relatively high, then the stream will form a flood plain and meander. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream
