Laminar flow is the most common in the aquarium and simply means that the water is moving steadily and in only one direction. It is most often produced by powerheads. In the ocean, this type is found at deeper areas of the reef.
Surge is similar to laminar flow, only stronger, for a shorter duration, and followed by a weaker reverse flow.
You think of waves when talking about water movement in the ocean right? Waves are created by winds and this best illustrates surge. This back and forth type of aquarium water movement is very beneficial to corals in your tank.
Turbulence is the random swirling and flow of water in all directions. This happens when currents collide with each other. Of the three types, turbulence is the most desirable and the most difficult to replicate.
What else can I help you with?
Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
Frost forms on a window pane.
Is there more water being stored in the water cycle than is moving?
No, there is a balance in the water cycle where the amount of water being stored in various forms (like ice caps, lakes, rivers, and oceans) is roughly equal to the amount of water that is moving through the cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation).
What forms does water go through in the water cycle?
The forms of the water cycle for the atmosphere and underground, the underground water forms into an underground stream and water in the atmosphere turns into a rain. The cycle starts all over again!
How does salt and water form using the particle theory?
The particles of salt and the particles of water are both moving very fast. The different particles attract to each other so therefore it forms a solution.
What forms when water vapor changes into a liquid?
Water forms by the condensation of water vapor.
What are the four forms of moving water?
H
What are the water forms of Yemen?
The water is Moving
What is loop of moving air that forms in both air and water?
air masses
Sediment settles out of moving water by the process of?
Sediment settles out of the moving water by the process of.
How does moving water form a valley?
Moving water forms a valley be eroding the soil underneath it. As the water moves across the soil it takes some with it, this can form a valley over millions of years.
What are the four major water forms?
ocean,river,lake,gulf
What landform is caused when a fast moving river meets a body of water?
It forms a delta by sedimentation of debris brought by the river stream.
Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
Frost forms on a window pane.
What are the four forms that water takes when it returns to earth from the clouds?
The four forms of water that can return to Earth from the atmosphere are rain (liquid form), snow (solid form), sleet (a mixture of rain and snow), and hail (ice pellets).
What is a loop of moving material that forms in both air and water?
A vortex is a loop of moving material that forms in both air and water. It can be small scale, like a whirlpool in a stream, or large scale, like a hurricane or tornado. Vortices are characterized by spinning motion and are common in fluid dynamics.
A glass of water is stirred and then allowed to stand until the water stops movingwhat has happened to the kinetic energy of the moving water?
The kinetic energy of the moving water has been transferred to other forms of energy, such as heat and sound, during the stirring process. Once the water stops moving, the kinetic energy has dissipated and the water is now in a state of equilibrium.
How does moving water form waves in water?
As it slides over the water surface film, air makes it move. As the water moves, it forms eddies and small ripples. Then waves are formed from these ripples
