Why does water flow in rivers and streams?
Water flows in rivers and streams due to the force of gravity pulling it downhill. The water follows the path of least resistance, moving from higher elevations to lower elevations, creating the flow that we see in rivers and streams.
Is groundwater powered by gravity?
Groundwater is primarily replenished by precipitation infiltrating into the ground. Gravity does play a role in how groundwater moves through the subsurface, as it causes the water to flow downward due to the force of gravity, but it is not the primary power source for groundwater.
What is the driving force behind glacial movement?
Once the depth of snow and ice reaches more than 30 to 40 meters, gravity begins to pull the glacier down hill.Also as the glacier melts due to pressure if creates melt water which acts as a lubricant.
What path does water flow?
Water flows downhill due to gravity, following the path of least resistance. It will typically follow the natural topography of the land, such as streams, rivers, and eventually into oceans or other bodies of water.
How is electricity affected by gravity?
Electricity is not directly affected by gravity. Gravity does not impact the flow of electricity through wires or circuits.
What cause rivers to flow?
Gravity
What river did God cause to flow south to north?
Gravity, not gods cause rivers to flow. Most rivers in the northern parts of continents flow from south to north.
Why do rivers flow where they go?
Gravity
How does water move in rivers?
Gravity, rivers flow downhill
Do mountain rivers flow slower than lowland rivers?
No. In the mountains, gravity makes the rivers flow faster. Lowland rivers are slower than mountain rivers.
Is hydroelectricity a fuel?
No because hydroelectricity is renewable (meaning that it isn't in a limited supply). Gravity from the earth, sun, and moon cause rivers to flow and since gravity will never end, rivers will always run and be available for the making of hydroelectricity.
Do rivers flow down hill because of gravity?
yes
What causes the Nile to flow northward?
As with all rivers - Gravity.
What makes some rivers in North America flow north?
Gravity
What is the flow of rivers?
Rivers respond to gravity, and flow downhill or down any slope. The current (flowing water) will react according to the slope down which it is moving.
What causes rivers to flow in a certain direction?
Gravity :)
Is Hydroelectricity a fossil fuel?
No because hydroelectricity is renewable (meaning that it isn't in a limited supply). Gravity from the earth, sun, and moon cause rivers to flow and since gravity will never end, rivers will always run and be available for the making of hydroelectricity.
