the competence and capacity of a steam depend on a streams velocity and discharge. Because the velocity and discharge of a given stream are not constant , the competence and capacity of a stream are not constant . competence and capacity vary along a stream and change throughout the year.
A river's velocity directly affects its competence and capacity. Higher velocities allow the river to transport larger and heavier sediment (higher competence) and carry more sediment overall (higher capacity). Lower velocities result in lower competence and lower capacity, as the river can only move smaller and lighter particles.
Competence would be a ratio, Capacity is max amount, volume, etc..
The competence of a stream shows the maximum single load i.e. individual large rock, that the stream can move. It ignores the rest of the load in the river. The capacity would include the rest of the finer load so it is the whole load of the stream (including the large rock) Thus capacity will always be more than competence.
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium has a seating capacity of 62,512 people.
The competence of a party to enter into a contract is determined by their legal ability to understand the terms and consequences of the agreement. Factors such as age, mental capacity, and legal status can impact a party's competence in entering into a contract.
