What else can I help you with?
What is the relationship between stream erosion and kinetic energy?
It is direct, and the amount of stream erosion increases, kinetic energy increases also.
What does the rate of stream discharge has to do with erosion and deposition?
rate of stream discharge is directly proportional to the erosion i.e the higher the velocity of the stream then it will erode the rock rapidly while the deposition process will be slow when the velocity will be high.
Does a mature stream cause little erosion?
Yes. As a stream gets older and older it's strength and speed reduces (like in humans). So, erosion is reduced.
There can be no stream erosion or glacial erosion without?
the presence of water. Water is a key agent in both stream and glacial erosion processes as it carries sediment, sculpts valleys, and shapes landscapes through its erosive power. Without water, these erosion processes would not occur.
How is deposition and erosion different in a stream?
Thats what i wanted to know
What is the fastest form of erosion n?
stream erosion
How can a stream cause erosion?
Little sediments are carried by the eroding stream
What is the relationship between stream erosion and kinetic energy?
It is direct, and the amount of stream erosion increases, kinetic energy increases also.
Explain the processes of headward erosion and stream piracy?
Headward erosion is a fluvial process of erosion that lengthens a stream, a valley or a gully at its head and also enlarges its drainage basin. The stream erodes away at the rock and soil at its headwaters in the opposite direction that it flows. Once a stream has begun to cut back, the erosion is sped up by the steep gradient the water is flowing down. As water erodes a path from its headwaters to its mouth at a standing body of water, it tries to cut an ever-shallower path. This leads to increased erosion at the steepest parts, which is headward erosion. (wikipedia)When this happens, the erosion can break through into another stream and the water from the stream is diverted. So the stream is "stealing" the other stream's water.
What is the difference between erosion by runoff and stream erosion?
Erosion by runoff refers to the removal of soil and rock particles by water flowing over the land surface, often caused by rainfall or melting snow. Stream erosion, on the other hand, occurs when flowing water in a stream or river carries away sediment and rocks from the streambed and banks, shaping the land over time. While both processes involve the movement of sediment by water, stream erosion specifically refers to erosion that occurs within the channel of a stream or river.
What affects stream erosion?
Stream erosion can be influenced by factors such as the volume and speed of water flow, gradient of the stream channel, presence of sediment or boulders, vegetation along the banks, and geology of the area. Human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and construction of dams or levees can also significantly impact stream erosion.
Which graph below best represents the relationship between stream erosion and kinetic energy?
The graph that best represents the relationship between stream erosion and kinetic energy would show a positive correlation, with higher kinetic energy leading to increased stream erosion. The graph should have kinetic energy on the x-axis and stream erosion on the y-axis, with erosion rates increasing as kinetic energy levels rise.
Where is the stream eroding the bank?
Stream Bank erosion is the wearing away of the banks of a stream or river. This is distinguished from erosion of the bed of the watercourse, which is referred to as scour. The roots of trees growing by a stream are undercut by such erosion. As the roots bind the soil tightly, they form abutments which jut out over the water. These have a significant effect upon the rate and progress of the erosion.
When a river is lengthened due to forward erosion a has occurred?
stream piracy and/or stream capture
When a river is lengthened due to forward erosion what has occurred?
stream piracy and/or stream capture
Which most likely causes a stream to widen?
a stream is most likely widen by erosion
What does the rate of stream discharge has to do with erosion and deposition?
rate of stream discharge is directly proportional to the erosion i.e the higher the velocity of the stream then it will erode the rock rapidly while the deposition process will be slow when the velocity will be high.
