What else can I help you with?
What factors increase the speed of a river?
steep slope and deep streambed
What decreased the speed of the river?
Many things can decrease the speed of a river. One of the main reasons is a dam or a block in the stream somewhere.
More friction between water and streambed will reduce the speed of flowing water.?
true
What are some factors that can cause a rivers speed and discharge to decrease?
Factors that can cause a river's speed and discharge to decrease include reduced precipitation leading to lower water input, increased evaporation, and human activities such as damming that restrict flow. Additionally, changes in land use like deforestation can decrease runoff and thus reduce the speed and discharge of a river.
More friction between water and streambed will reduce the speed of flowing water?
Yes, increased friction between the water and the streambed will create resistance that slows down the flow of water. This can result in changes to the velocity and turbulence of the water flow.
Why why does bed load change as it goes downstream?
The size of the pebble will decrease down stream because the further downstream you go the quicker the river velocity. This means there will be more abrasion against the sides and bed of the river and the friction will be greater, this wears away the river load making it decrease in size. Increase velocity means that bigger material will be picked up by the river and carried as river load. More load in the river and increased size of load will mean more attrition and the river load will keep colliding into each other smoothening and rounding their shape. Brap brap !!
Which change will most likely increase the velocity of the river?
More current..so you would have to get some sort of a perpeller thingy..something like that. A greater gradient of the riverbed and rainfall can both contribute to increased speeds.
Can gravels slow down the speed of the river?
Yes, gravels can slow down the speed of a river by creating friction and obstacles which impede the flow of water. The rough surfaces of the gravel bed can decrease the velocity of the river as the water has to navigate around and through the individual particles.
What happens to angle of refraction when water waves pass from deep to shallow part of water?
The angle of refraction increases when water waves pass from deep to shallow water. This is due to the decrease in wave speed as the water becomes shallower, causing the waves to bend towards the normal line.
What happens to the direction of water wave when it passes from deep to shallow water?
The direction of a water wave typically changes when it passes from deep to shallow water. In shallow water, the wave tends to bend and align itself more with the underwater contours due to the decrease in wave speed and change in wave refraction. This can result in the wave crest aligning more parallel to the shoreline.
What is the effect of water waves passing into shallow water?
As water waves pass into shallow water, their speed decreases and their wavelength shortens, causing the waves to increase in height and decrease in length. This process is known as wave shoaling. The energy of the wave is conserved, leading to a higher wave impact on the shore.
Can acceleration change with out increase or decrease speed?
yes the 3 types of acceleration are increased speed decrease speed or change in direction.
