How can you tell a direction a stream is flowing using a contour map How do the contour lines look?

On a contour map, streams flow perpendicular to the contour lines. When the contour lines are spaced closely together, they indicate a steep slope, while widely spaced lines suggest a gentle slope. If the contour lines form a "V" shape that points upstream, the stream flows downhill, away from the point of the "V." Therefore, the direction of flow can be determined by observing the orientation of the contour lines in relation to the stream.


How must contour lines bend on a topographic map to indicate a stream valley?

Contour lines will bend and point upstream to form a "V" shape when crossing a stream valley on a topographic map. The V-shape indicates the direction of the stream flow and shows the gradual slope of the valley.


How much do contour lines show stream direction?

Water flows downhill. Contour lines show the slope of the landscape, and the direction a stream must flow.


Why does channel depth increase as you go downstream?

Channel depth typically increases as you move downstream due to the accumulation of water volume and sediment load from upstream sources. As the flow progresses, the river or stream gains more energy, allowing it to erode deeper into the channel and carry a greater volume of water. Additionally, downstream channels tend to widen, which can also contribute to increased depth.

Is the O2 sensor for a 2000 Ford escort upstream or down stream?

both. upstream is under the hood, and the downstream is by the catalytic converter.


What does o2 sensor upstream and downstream mean?

it refers to the location of the oxygen (o2) sensors relative to the engine. The upstream sensor is the one closest to the engine. The downstream sensor is furthest from the engine. Think of it as the way a stream of water, or in this case, a stream of exhaust flows.... From the engine To the tailpipe.

Will another electrical outlet that is in line with a GFCI outlet cause it to kick off?

A down stream receptacle that is connected to the upstream GFCI will be protected. If the downstream receptacle senses a fault the upstream GFCI will trip.

How do contour lines bend when crossing a stream?

Because we know that water cannot flow uphill, the flow must go from higher contours to lower ones.


What are upstream and down stream valves?

Upstream and downstream valves refer to the positioning of valves in relation to the flow of fluid in a piping system. Upstream valves are located before a specific point in the system, controlling the flow entering that point, while downstream valves are positioned after that point, regulating the flow exiting it. These designations help in maintenance, troubleshooting, and ensuring proper fluid control within the system.
