What affects do floods have on rivers?
they increase both their volume and speed [of the river]
Why does a rivers speed increase?
A river's speed may increase due to factors such as the gradient or slope of the land, the volume of water flowing in the river, and the presence of obstacles that reduce friction. Additionally, changes in the river's width or depth can influence its speed as well.
How does the unit for speed relate to the formula for speed?
they both relate to distance.
How does slopevolume of flow and stream bed shape affect a river's speed?
If a rivers slope increases so does water speed. And as more water flows through a river speed also increases due to the volume of flow. As for the stream bed shape , friction affects river speed when the water is deep. Hope i helped!
What is the difference between velocity and volume of the river?
Velocity refers to the speed of water flow in a river, typically measured in meters per second. Volume, on the other hand, refers to the amount of water passing through a given point in the river over a period of time, usually measured in cubic meters per second. In essence, velocity is the speed of the water flow, while volume is the quantity of water flowing through a specific section of the river.
What is the speed of the Yangtze river?
The speed of the river is 43 mph.
What is the volume of the Mississippi river?
The volume of the Mississippi River is approximately 2.4 cubic inches.
Which river has the highest volume of water flow?
The Amazon River has the highest volume of water flow.
What is the term for the speed of a river?
The technical term for the speed of a river is velocity.
If a deep river is faster why doesnt the larger wetted perimeter increase friction and slow down the speed of the river?
The speed of a river is affected by the amount of friction slowing down the water and the grade or fall of the river. The amount of friction is determined by how rough the bed or wetted perimeter is, and how big the perimeter is. A wide shallow river or a very deep and narrow river with the same volume and grade will be in contact with similar areas of river bed, causing the same amount of friction. But a river with a semi circular shape in cross section and the same volume and grade will have less contact area with the river bed and will therefore have less friction and be faster. The steeper the grade of the river, the faster it will flow.
How does the speed of a river determine what type of material the river carries?
The speed of a river determines on the age of the river. The younger the river the faster and stronger the river is, the older the river the slower and weaker the river is.
How does physical science relate to mass volume and density?
The density is the ratio between mass and volume. So density = mass / volume
