velocity
It is a large body of water for example Lake Geneva
what describes the flow of water in the gulf stream
The gradient of a stream affects the speed of the water as it moves downstream. The steeper the gradient, the faster the water moves.
A headwater is the place from which the water in the river or stream originates. It is also called the source of the river or stream
For all intents and purposes river and glacial water is identical. What determines the speed of moving water is the grade down which it flows. The steeper the grade the faster the water flows. So whichever stream is the steepest, that stream will be the fastest.
A stream is a flow of rain water that is smaller than a river.
River, stream, waterway, brook, canal, or watercourse
A stream or brook can get bigger and become a river.
Increasing the steepness of the river's bed will have no direct effect on the size of the discharge of a stream. Discharge is primarily influenced by the volume of water flowing in the river. Steepness may impact the speed of the water flow and erosion processes, but it won't directly affect discharge size.
If a rivers slope increases so does water speed. And as more water flows through a river speed also increases due to the volume of flow. As for the stream bed shape , friction affects river speed when the water is deep. Hope i helped!
A stream deposition occurs when, in the lower reaches, the flow of water (speed of flow) is reduced. Which is when the heavier sediment falls out and settles on the river bed.
A river is a large stream of fresh water that flows across land and empties into an ocean, lake, or some other body of water.
