What else can I help you with?
The measure of the maximum load a stream can transport is called its .?
capacity
What pebbles and boulders carried in a stream called?
load or stream load.
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 is the maximum payload of an airplane?
The load it can carry after fuel.
What are the 3 different types of sediment loads that a stream can carry?
suspended load dissolved load bed load
What is the maximum load a river can carry?
more then 1 grams
When does Deposition of stream load occurs?
Deposition of stream load occurs when the velocity of the stream decreases, causing the stream to lose the energy needed to carry sediment. As a result, sediment particles are deposited on the streambed or banks. This typically happens in areas where the stream's slope decreases or the stream widens.
What is the load that a stream of desitemn carries called?
sediment
How does a stream carry materials?
A stream carries materials through a process called erosion, where water and sediments are transported downstream. The flow of water in a stream can dislodge and carry rocks, soil, and other debris, along with any pollutants present, to be deposited in another location. The speed and volume of water in a stream can impact how much material it can carry.
What is the difference between the capacity and the competence of a stream?
The competence of a stream shows the maximum single load i.e. individual large rock, that the stream can move. It ignores the rest of the load in the river. The capacity would include the rest of the finer load so it is the whole load of the stream (including the large rock) Thus capacity will always be more than competence.
When is the total load that a stream can carry greatest?
The total volume of flow in streams is termed discharge.
What does the tires speed index mean?
It indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a load corresponding to it's load index.
