What else can I help you with?
In what freshwater ecosystems does water move constantly in one direction?
In a river or stream, the flow of water is in one direction only.
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.
Different hemispheres-does water flow the opposite direction?
What you are talking about is the Coriolis effect. In the northern hemisphere currents rotate in a clockwise rotation and in the southern hemisphere current rotation is in an anti clockwise rotation.See related links below
How are undercurrents formed?
Undercurrents are formed when water moves in a different direction or at a different speed within a body of water, such as an ocean or river, compared to the overall flow of that water body. This can be due to a variety of factors, including changes in density, temperature, salinity, or topography. Undercurrents can flow in a different direction from surface currents and can occur at different depths within the water column.
Which direction do the turbines spin in when the tides come in and out?
Turbines typically spin in the same direction regardless of whether tides are coming in or going out. The direction of spin is determined by the design of the turbine blades and the flow of water.
Why does water flow down a drain the opposite direction in the Southern hemisphere?
Water flows in both directions regardless of hemisphere. In Physics, there is the Coriolis Effect that describes the flow/movement of water due to a variety of factors, and this is sometimes used to add validity to the myth, but the Coriolis Effect does not occur in small bodies of water such as a sink or toilet. The direction of water flow in a a sink or toilet depends on the direction that the water flows into the sink or toilet -- regardless of hemisphere. You can test this yourself by pouring a pitcher of water from the left side of a sink and then from the right side, you will see that the water will flow accordingly -- this experiment will have the same result in Sydney, Australia as it will in London, England.
What term describes the geographical feature that causes water to flow in different directions on the continent?
The term that describes this geographical feature is watershed. A watershed is an area of land where all of the water that falls drains into a particular body of water, such as a river, lake, or ocean, and can influence the direction of water flow on a continent.
What does a water vane measure?
direction of flow
What best describes the movement of the Gulf Stream?
what describes the flow of water in the gulf stream
What direction does water flow in a radiator?
from the top to the bottom
What direction does water in the Great Lakes Flow?
South
Is downstream a preposition?
No, downstream is an adjective or adverb. It means occurring downriver as determined by the direction of flow.
Does the direction of flow of the toilet change in different regions of the earth?
The direction of the flow in a toilet is determined by the design of the bowl and the direction of the water jets, rather than the Earth's rotation. Factors like the shape of the bowl and water flow patterns can influence the direction of the flow, not the location on Earth. The Coriolis effect, which impacts large-scale weather systems, is not significant enough to affect the direction of water flow in a small space like a toilet bowl.
How can you tell what direction water is flowing through a copper pipe?
Water flows in the direction of the open end of the pipe. You can visually observe the flow of water or use a flow indicator to see the direction of movement inside the copper pipe. Another way is to feel for the movement of water by placing your hand near the pipe to sense the flow direction.
In freshwater ecosystems does water move constantly in one direction?
In a river or stream, the flow of water is in one direction only.
In what freshwater ecosystems does water move constantly in one direction?
In a river or stream, the flow of water is in one direction only.
Does water in toilets in Australia flow in the opposite direction than in Kentucky?
Although the Coriolis Effect would tend to influence an opposite direction of flow, the actual effect is immeasurably small on the scale of household plumbing. Other, mostly random factors mean that the flow could be in either direction, or alternately in both.
