Does a streams discharge change?

All the time.
How do gradient and discharge change between a streams headwaters and it's mouth?
Q-Tips
Does the carrying capacity increase as a streams slope and discharge increase?
true
When the discharge of a stream increases what happens to the streams velocity?
When a stream's discharge increases, erosive energy increases.
How does an increase in a streams velocity affect its discharge and carrying capacity?
When the discharge of a stream increases, so does it's velocity. When it decreases, so does the velocity.
How does a river's velocity affect its competence and capacity?
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.
How do the gradient and discharge of a stream change from its headwaters to its mouth?
The discharge for a single stream should not change much from the headwater to the mouth. The exceptions to the mouth would be if another stream joined the main stream, which would increase the discharge or if you loose a significant amount of water to infilitration, which would decrease the discharge. The gradient should be high at the headwaters and gradually decrease downstream where it should be low at the mouth. Of course differences in lithologies or secondary streams can change the gradient for a short distance, thought the overall profile should fit the expected model.
When is the total load that a stream can carry greatest?
The total volume of flow in streams is termed discharge.
Why do most streams in New York have greater stream discharge?
Melting snow increases runoff in spring
What change occures when streams carry rocks?
physical change
What are two things that wiuld cause a streams discharge to increase?
A heavy rainfall, or more water released from a reservoir.
