The lowest elevation limiting stream erosion is called?
The lowest elevation limiting stream erosion is called the base level. It refers to the point at which a stream can no longer erode its bed any lower. This can be either sea level for rivers that flow into the ocean or a lake level for rivers that flow into a lake.
Does gravity have a play in the river flow?
Yes - water flows from a higher elevation to a lower elevation. That's why a lot of rivers flow from South to North
Do all rivers have the same elevation?
No, rivers can have different elevations. If all rivers had the same elevation, there would be a lot fewer waterfalls!
Can you give a fact about Virginia rivers?
In Virginia most rivers run downhill. Or: The water in most Virginia rivers is wet. Or: Fish live in Virginia's rivers. Or: The mouth of Virginia rivers is at a lower elevation then the source. Or: No recorded Virginia river runs uphill. Or:
Can rivers start in an ocean?
No the definition of a river is fresh water running from higher ground to lower usually ending up in the ocean.
What rivers flow up elevation?
youthful stream
What is a very quick flow of water from a higher elevation to a lower one?
Rivers streams rapids
What is the difference in elevation from Lake Michigan to the Atlantic ocean?
Lake Michigan has an elevation of about 577 feet (176 meters) above sea level, while the Atlantic Ocean's surface elevation is considered to be at sea level, or 0 feet (0 meters). Therefore, the difference in elevation from Lake Michigan to the Atlantic Ocean is approximately 577 feet (176 meters) lower. This elevation difference is significant as it reflects the topography and hydrology of the regions surrounding these bodies of water.
Which state has the lowest elevations Florida or Tennessee?
Florida has lower elevation than Tennessee. Florida's lowest point of elevation is sea level at the Atlantic Ocean and at the Gulf of Mexico. Tennessee does not have any point of elevation at sea level.
Direction from which a river flows?
A river flows from its source, which is typically in a higher elevation, towards its mouth, which is usually at a lower elevation where it drains into a larger body of water such as an ocean, sea, or lake. The direction can vary based on the geography of the area, but in general, rivers flow downhill due to gravity.
Does water flow a higher or lower elevation to a higher or lower elevation?
Water flows from a higher elevation to a lower elevation due to gravity. It seeks the lowest point possible as it moves downstream.
Is the elevation of eastern Africa higher or lower than western Africa?
Lower in elevation.
