The Tenaya Stream primarily flows in a southeast direction. It originates from the high elevations of the Sierra Nevada in Yosemite National Park and eventually merges with the Merced River. The stream's path is characterized by its scenic beauty, surrounded by granite cliffs and lush forested areas.

Look for contour lines that indicate the flow of water downhill. Check for small lines perpendicular to the stream that show the direction of the current. Identify the shape of the stream's valley, as valleys typically point in the direction of the stream flow.

Water flows downhill. Contour lines show the slope of the landscape, and the direction a stream must flow.
In a river or stream, the flow of water is in one direction only.

A steady stream like movement of matter in one direction is called a flow. This can refer to the flow of fluids like water or air, or the movement of particles in a specific direction. This movement can be continuous and can vary in speed and intensity.
Winds in the jet stream blow from west to east at high altitudes in the atmosphere. This west-to-east flow is primarily due to the Earth's rotation and temperature differences between the equator and the poles. The jet stream can meander, creating waves that can influence weather patterns, but its general direction remains predominantly west to east.
it is the difference between local flow direction and free stream direction of atmospheric air
