The gradient typically decreases as you move from the headwaters to the mouth of a stream. This is because the elevation drops and the slope becomes gentler downstream.

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.

When you suck from a straw you make your mouth bigger so what happens to the air pressure in your mouth?

When you suck from a straw, you increase the volume of your mouth. This decrease in pressure inside your mouth creates a vacuum that draws liquid up the straw.


How do gradient and discharge change between a stream's headwaters and its mouth?

At the headwaters (in the mountains) the gradient is steep, then as the stream moves into the foothills and onto the plains on its way to the sea where it has its mouth, the gradient gets less and less steep.


Are bedrock channels more likely to be found near the head or near the mouth of a stream?

Bedrock channels are more likely to be found near the head of a stream where the gradient is steeper and erosion processes are more active. As the stream flows downstream and the gradient decreases, the likelihood of encountering bedrock channels decreases as well.


What changes occur in intravascular fluid because of dehydration?

Dehydration leads to a decrease in intravascular fluid volume, causing an increase in blood osmolarity and a decrease in blood pressure. This can lead to symptoms such as thirst, dry mouth, and decreased urine output.
