Why does water flow in rivers and streams?
Water flows in rivers and streams due to the force of gravity pulling it downhill. The water follows the path of least resistance, moving from higher elevations to lower elevations, creating the flow that we see in rivers and streams.
What is the origin of rivers?
Mountain ranges - which collect snow - and snow melts all year long at lower altitudes, and snow falls from mountains to lower ranges creating streams which meet at bottoms of ranges and forms rivers (water seeks its own level - mainly ocean level - at 0 feet)
Average rainfall of rivers and streams?
The average rainfall on rivers and streams can vary significantly depending on the location and climate of the region. Rainfall typically replenishes river and stream flow, providing a consistent source of water. Areas with higher average rainfall generally have more water flowing in rivers and streams compared to areas with lower average rainfall.
What is the average yearly rainfall of streams and rivers?
The average yearly rainfall for streams and rivers can vary greatly depending on location. In general, streams and rivers in temperate regions receive between 30-60 inches of rainfall annually. However, this can be higher in tropical areas and lower in arid regions.
What is a very quick flow of water from a higher elevation to a lower one?
Rivers streams rapids
How does a streams based level affect how it downcuts it's channel?
Streams can't erode their channels endlessly. there is a lower limit to how deep can a stream erode. Base level is the lowest point to which a stream can erode its channels.
How would you explain that a lower then average salinity is found i coastal waters?
Coastal waters have a lower salinity due to the vast amount of freshwater runoff pouring into the sea from rivers and streams. PM
Can you lower a Neopet's level?
Certain things can lower a pet's level, they are not particularly controllable and are usually random. - Count Von Roo can lower it, if you lose at his Dice game. - A Dark Faerie can lower it, if you get a certain result on the Wheel of Excitement.
How does surface water move?
Surface water moves through processes such as gravity, wind, and slope. It flows downhill following the path of least resistance, collecting in rivers, streams, and eventually into oceans. Wind can also create waves that move surface water.
How does a stream base level affect how it downcuts it channel?
Streams can't erode their channels endlessly. there is a lower limit to how deep can a stream erode. Base level is the lowest point to which a stream can erode its channels.
The lowest elevation limiting stream erosion is called?
The lowest elevation limiting stream erosion is called the base level. It refers to the point at which a stream can no longer erode its bed any lower. This can be either sea level for rivers that flow into the ocean or a lake level for rivers that flow into a lake.
Is a tributary in the upper course of a river?
No, they tend to be found more in the Middle/Lower courses of a river. Where the process of smaller streams or rivers joining the main river is more common, than in the higher upper course.
