What is the name of flowing electricity?
Flowing electricity is called electric current.
When does heat stop flowing?
When it is blocked by an insulator or if your in the North Pole
The property of flowing very quickly in liquid?
The property of flowing very quickly in liquid is called fluidity. It refers to the measure of the extent to which a substance is fluid.
What is the ability to regulate the amount of charge flowing in a circuit is?
resistance
What are Different types of mechanics?
There are two main types of transport systems which are used to transport solutes across a cell membrane: passive transport and active transport. Passive transport is where a protein in the membrane simply provides a 'hole' in the membrane, which allows the solute to flow freely in both directions. In this case, the flow of the solute is determined entirely by the concentration gradient across the membrane, and no energy is input to aid the movement (hence the term passive). Active transport is where the protein in the membrane actually binds to the solute, and conformational changes in the protein shape literally carry the solute across the membrane, then release it on the other side. This mechanism is designed for situations where movement of solutes against their concentration gradient is required, and requires the input of energy. This energy can come from one of a few places: * Primary active transport involves deriving the energy required to move the solute from the hydrolysis of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). In this case, the protein acting as the carrier is referred to as an ATPAse. * Secondary active transport involves deriving the energy from the movement of another solute across the membrane. This second solute will be flowing in the direction of its concentration gradient, so energy is released as it crosses the membrane. This allows it to drive the conformational changes in the protein that carry the solute across.
What property of flowing water determines how much sediment it can carry?
The velocity of the flowing water is the primary factor that determines how much sediment it can carry. Higher velocity can transport larger and heavier particles, while lower velocity can only carry finer sediments.
How does a flood move sediment?
A flood moves sediment by increasing the water velocity, which allows it to pick up and transport sediment particles downstream. The force of the flowing water carries the sediment along, depositing it as the water slows down or changes direction. The amount and size of sediment carried by a flood depend on factors such as water volume, velocity, and channel slope.
Which sediment is the largest that could be carried by a stream flowing at a velocity of 100cmsec?
sand
Explain how stream deposition occurs?
Stream deposition occurs when a flowing stream loses energy, causing it to slow down and deposit sediment that it was previously carrying. This commonly occurs when the stream enters a flatter area, like a floodplain or a lake. As the stream's velocity decreases, it can no longer transport sediment, leading to deposition.
What factor determines the erosive effectiveness of streamflow?
The erosive effectiveness of streamflow is primarily determined by the velocity of the flowing water. Higher velocity water has more kinetic energy, which allows it to transport larger sediment particles and erode material more effectively. Other factors, such as the volume of water, channel shape, and sediment load, also play a role in stream erosion.
Does flowing water cause erosion?
Yes, flowing water can cause erosion by wearing away rock and soil over time. The force and velocity of the water can transport sediment and particles, gradually shaping the landforms like valleys, riverbeds, and canyons. Erosion by water is a natural process that can also be influenced by human activities.
What are the 2 features of water erosion?
Two features of water erosion are channeling, which is the carving out of channels or gullies in the landscape by flowing water, and sediment transport, where water carries and deposits sediment in new locations.
What is the process in which pieces of sediment bounce and skip?
The process in which pieces of sediment bounce and skip along a riverbed or beach is called saltation. It occurs when the force of the flowing water or wind is strong enough to lift and transport these particles for short distances before they settle again. Saltation plays a key role in the erosion and transport of sediment in various environments.
What is ''alluvium ''and is it used?
Sediment deposited by flowing water
Are tributaries erosion or deposition?
Tributaries can both erode and deposit sediment. In the upper reaches of a tributary, erosion may occur as the flowing water picks up and moves sediment. Closer to the main river, deposition may happen as the velocity of the water slows down and sediment is dropped.
What is the most powerful agent of deposition?
Water is typically the most powerful agent of deposition due to its ability to transport and deposit large amounts of sediment. This is especially true for rivers and streams, where flowing water can pick up and carry a variety of sediment sizes.
How are sediments moved about?
Mostly By water from river.... than Air, Glaciers etc.
