What is a geographical desert wash?
A wash is another term for a gully, an arroyo or a wadi. It is a usually a dry stream bed in a desert formed by occasional heavy rains.
What is Stream bed?
A stream bed is the bottom (floor) of the stream.
What is the difference between a playa lake and an arroyo in a desert?
A playa is a dried lake bed in a desert. It only has water after a substantial rain.An arroyo is a wash or gully - a dry stream bed in the desert that only has flowing water during a substantial rain.
What is a wadis?
A wady is another term for a wadi - a valley or stream bed which remains dry except during the rainy season.
Particles that roll and slide along the stream bed make up the of the stream?
Bed Load
A path that a stream follows?
The bed of the stream.
What is the name of a stream bottom?
Bed
What is a streams bed load?
Sediment that is carried by a stream along the bottom of its channel.
What is the difference between a stream bed and a stream bank?
A stream bed is the bottom sediment layer of the stream channel which is constantly inundated with water. It is a saturated layer of sediment inhabitated by macroinvertibrates, algae, macrophytes, and microbes. The particle size of the stream bed material (fine clay vs large rock and boulders) is dependent on geologic region, size of the stream, and stream velocity. The stream bank is the adjacent sloping walls that confine the stream on either side. They are typically not wet except in times of high flows. Banks typically can grow more terrestrial vegetation such as reeds, grasses, and trees.
A stream will deposit the most sand and silt where the stream bed is?
wide and steep
What is the measure of th largest particles a stream can carry?
The measure of the largest particles that a stream can carry is typically determined by its stream power, bed material size, and flow velocity. Streams with higher stream power and flow velocity are able to transport larger particles. The largest particles a stream can carry before they settle to the streambed are usually referred to as the stream's "bedload" particles.
What is a place where a river or stream is called?
bed
