What is the difference between stream discharge and stream velocity?
Stream discharge is a product of the velocity and the area of the stream (velocity x width x depth), and has units of volume per time (e.g. cubic feet per second, cubic meter per day, etc). Stream velocity is the vector describing the speed of the water and has units of length per time (feet per second, meter per second). Stream discharge is relatively constant as you move up and down a stream, while velocity will change predominately as you change depth. The velocity of water is lowest near the bed of the stream, and highest at the surface.
What happens to stream speed if the discharge in a stream doubles?
If in a given stream the velocity doubles, the discharge: Choose one answer
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge .?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
In a typical stream where the gradient in steep the discharge is?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
What happens after stream discharge increases?
After a stream's discharge increases, it overflows its banks and a flood occurs.
If a stream's discharge decreases how does it affect the stream's capacity?
The capacity of a stream is the maximum load it can carry. Capacity is directly related to a stream's discharge. The greater the volume of water in a stream is, the greater its capacity is for carrying sediment. So if a stream's discharge decreases, the stream's capacity also decreases.
What happens after a stream discharge increases?
After a stream's discharge increases, it overflows its banks and a flood occurs.
What is the definition of stream velocity?
Stream velocity is the speed at which water flows in a stream or river. It is typically measured in units of distance per time (e.g. meters per second) and can vary based on factors such as gradient, channel shape, and discharge.
What does A stream discharge .?
Water.
What is a discharge of a stream?
a discharge of a stream is the amount of water flowing past a certain point in a given unit of time.
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
What is the definition of stream discharge?
stream discharge is the amount of water flowing through a space OR increases between its source or mouth
