What else can I help you with?
What happens to the ability of a river to erode land under it if its slope decreases?
If the slope of a river decreases, its ability to erode land will also decrease. A lower slope means the water flows more slowly, reducing the energy and force it can exert on the land. As a result, sediment transport and erosion potential will be reduced.
What is the base level of a stream?
The elevation down to which a river has the ability to erode its bed everywhere along its course.
Why would the volume of a river affect its ability to erode sediment?
How deep it is and how fast it is going downhill that can also affect it
What is ultimate base level of a stream?
The elevation down to which a river has the ability to erode its bed everywhere along its course.
What factors affect a river's ability to erode and carry sediment?
Factors that affect a river's ability to erode and carry sediment include velocity of the water flow, volume of water, slope of the riverbed, geology of the surrounding area, and the presence of vegetation or obstructions along the river's path. High velocity and volume of water, steep slopes, soft rock formations, and minimal vegetation can increase erosion and sediment transport capacity.
Which factor would have the least effect on the ability of a river to erode materials A slope of river B Discharge of the river C Size of the river's headwaters D shape of the riverbed?
it would be the size of the river's headwatersC: Size of the river's head watersTemperature of the river
A rivers power to erode depends on what three things?
A river's power to erode depends on a river's slope, the volume of flow, and the shape of the river.
Does every river erode?
yes
How can the word erode be used in a sentence?
Wind can erode topsoil.Drugs erode family values.
How do you put erode in a sentence?
erode is a noun. Wind and water erode rock. past tense- eroded The Colorado River eroded the Grand Canyon
How does a river's speed affect its erosive ability?
Along with friction, turbulence slows the stream's flow and may also erode the stream.
What is the ultimate base level of a stream-?
The elevation down to which a river has the ability to erode its bed everywhere along its course.
