Anywhere from 32 degrees, F to perhaps a hundred degrees or more, if the river or stream was very shallow. This would allow thorough heating from the Sun.
I have gone swimming, for instance, in the very deep Lake Pend Oreille (pond-oh-RAY) where in the summer the water temperature must have been close to 40 degrees. This lake is a few miles from the snow-capped mountains and Schweitzer Ski Resort.
I have gone swimming in Lake Coeur d'Alene, (cur-duh-LANE) south of Pend Oreille, which is comfortable to swim in, but it is farther from the mountains are most of it is fairly shallow, so it gets warmer from the Sun. Parts of Coeur d'Alene, at least where I waterski, must be close to 70 degrees, F.
moderates changes in temperature on the surface
water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams
what region has fast moving rivers and streams
W. H. Goines has written: 'Temperature of Texas streams' -- subject(s): Rivers, Water temperature
Streams and rivers flow down a long path and ponds and lakes stay in one place and not flowing like streams and rivers.
one main primary consumer in streams and rivers are FISH
Both streams and rivers can be considered the trunk of a river system.
Streams are merely tributaries of rivers. A river is the wider channel into which smaller creeks, streams and rivers flow. (Streams do not flow out of rivers.) Streams carry water from higher sources, emptying into the river. As more streams empty into a river, it tends to become broader, simply because of the greater volume of water it is carrying.
No.
Rivers and streams are typically classified as freshwater ecosystems. This means they contain low concentrations of salt compared to marine environments. Freshwater in these systems can vary in temperature, flow rate, and nutrient levels, influencing the types of organisms that inhabit them. Additionally, rivers and streams play a crucial role in the hydrological cycle, connecting terrestrial and aquatic environments.
Streams can slowly join together to form rivers.
There are thousands of smaller streams and rivers that run into the James River. ~thank you for the answer but what are the names of those streams. (name a few)
