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.
What else can I help you with?
How does a rivers velocity affect is competence and capacity?
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.
How do calculate the velocity of the boat relative to the shore?
Add the rivers velocity to the boats velocity
When rivers slow down they drop sediment in a process called?
When rivers slow down, they deposit sediment in a process known as sedimentation or deposition. This happens when the velocity of the water decreases, causing it to lose its capacity to carry the sediment, which then settles on the riverbed or banks.
When do streams and rivers deposit sediment?
When their velocity decreases
What was the affect of the rivers flooding in Mesopotamia?
The affect of rivers flooding in Mesopotamia was that the rivers would deposit silt which was very good for growing crops
Do rivers affect thunderstorms?
no
How urbanization affect river discharge?
Urbanization generally means more impermeable surfaces, like concrete. This increases the amount of runoff (rain going to rivers) which means an increase in the amount (and velocity) of discharge.
