Decrease in stream velocity
The volume of water that flows in a stream in one minute (cubic feet) is(width of the stream, feet) x (depth of the water, feet) x (speed of the current, feet per minute)Notes:-- The stream may have different widths at different depths.-- The current may have different speeds at different depths.-- To convert cubic feet to gallons, multiply by 7.4805.-- To convert cubic feet to cubic yards, divide by 27.
A decrease in water velocity usually causes more sediments to be deposited at a location in a stream. This can happen when the stream widens, the channel gradient decreases, or obstacles such as rocks or vegetation slow down the flow of water.
No, the Gulf Stream is not a prevailing wind. It is a strong, narrow, warm ocean current that flows from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic Ocean. Prevailing winds are the dominant patterns of wind direction in a particular location over a long period of time.
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
The easiest way to do it (without getting your feet wet) is go to the edge of the stream where it is fairly straight, find a spot directly across from your location and mark it in you mind, Pace along your side of the stream looking back, until the marked spot is 45 degrees back from your line of travel. The stream is the same width as the distance you have walked from your starting point.
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
A stream gradient is the grade measure by the ratio of drop in elevation of a stream. It is expressed as feet per mile.
