Why does sediment erode on the outside curve of a stream?

Rivers "carry" their sediment load only as long as the velocity of the water remains high enough to create sufficient turbulence to keep the particles "stirred up". Once a river loses its velocity and the stirring effect of the turbulence subsides the sediment load can no longer remain suspended in the water. At this point gravity takes over and the river begins to "drop" its sediments in a process named deposition.Now a river going around a curve is like two tires at each end of an axle going around a curve. The tire on the outside of the curve has to move faster than the tire on the inside of the curve since it has a longer radius of travel. So too the water in the river moves faster at the outside of the curve than the water inside the curve. Between the two different water velocities the deposition is going to occur on the inside curve of the river where the water loses its velocity.Conversely, the opposite of deposition which is erosion will take place at the outside of the curve in the river.


What does the moons horizon look like?

bananalike shape. Because the Moon is much smaller than Earth, the curve of the horizon is more obvious.


Heat and cooling curve of pure water?

The heating curve of pure water shows that as heat is added, the temperature of the water rises until it reaches its boiling point at 100°C, where it starts to vaporize. On the other hand, the cooling curve of water shows that as heat is removed, the temperature decreases until it reaches its freezing point at 0°C, where it solidifies into ice.


Would adding soap to water increase or decrease the curve of its meniscus?

Adding soap to water would decrease the curve of its meniscus. Soap reduces the surface tension of water, which causes the liquid to spread out more and form a flatter meniscus compared to pure water. This is because the cohesive forces that create the curvature of the meniscus are weakened when surfactants like soap are introduced.


Is the curve at a liquids surface by which you measure the volume of a liquid?

The meniscus is the curve at a liquid's surface by which one measures the volume of the liquid. A meniscus can be concave or convex depending on whether it is attracted to itself or the glass.
