What else can I help you with?
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.
Stream gradient role on stream velocity?
Stream gradient, or the slope of the stream channel, affects stream velocity by influencing the speed at which water flows downstream. A steeper stream gradient typically results in a faster water flow velocity, as the force of gravity pulls water downhill more strongly. Conversely, a gentler stream gradient leads to slower water flow velocity.
How does water move from the land to the ocean and the sea?
it evaporates and then it condensate after that it rains in the oceans and seas.
Water that flows downhill along Earths surface is called?
Runoff is the water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth.
What is the difference between an ephemeral and interermittent stream?
The terms are typically synonymous : )- the opposite of a perennial stream which flows year round.
When water flows down hill into a stream. the stream flows into a lake and water evaporates from the lake?
Yes, it is correct.
What is meant by lava flows?
A lava flow is a stream of molten rock that moves downhill from an erupting volcano.
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.
How a stream flows into a lake and water evaporates from the lake?
Evaporation of water occur at any temperature at the surface of a body of water.
How is a stream created?
A stream is typically created when water flows naturally downhill due to gravity, forming a channel or watercourse. This can occur from sources such as springs, melting snow, or rainfall. As the water continues to flow, it erodes the ground and shapes the stream over time.
How does a stream's gradient affect its velocity?
the difference in velocity is mostly due to the great efficiency of the large downstream channel.
What happens when water flows downhill?
When water flows downward what will it posses
What is a stream of ice that flows between steep rock walls from a place near the top of a mountain valley?
That is a glacier. Glaciers form from compacted snow that has accumulated over time and flows downhill under the force of gravity.
When is snow flows downhill what is it called?
An avalanche
Water that flows downhill into streambeds?
runoff
Where does the water from a waterfall go?
Water from waterfalls drops into pool of water which then flows as a river continuing downhill to the sea.Then it evaporates into clouds, falls as rain onto high ground, and flows down from the high ground into rivers which could possibly fall from that same waterfalls again.
How does elevation change along the course of river?
In this investigation, students explore river and stream erosion. Precipitation (rain) that falls to the Earth's surface either soaks into the ground, evaporates, or flows across the land. Water that flows across the land runs downhill. Along the way, it can pick up and carry sediment ranging from fine clay to coarse sand or gravel. As the water runs downhill, it cuts into the soil, forming channels called gullies. When gullies reach a low-lying area, they merge together, forming a larger stream. Streams merge together to form larger streams or rivers. Most sediment carried downhill eventually ends up in a stream and is carried away. In this way, streams affect more of the Earth's surface than any other agent of erosion. The amount of sediment a stream can carry depends on the speed and size of the stream. The speed of the water in a stream depends on its slope. The steeper the slope, the faster the water moves. Fast-moving or large streams can carry more sediment than slow-moving or small streams.
