What else can I help you with?
Does water flow a higher or lower elevation to a higher or lower elevation?
Water flows from a higher elevation to a lower elevation due to gravity. It seeks the lowest point possible as it moves downstream.
Why water flows from higer level to lower?
Gravity is what causes a river to flow from higher to lower elevation. A river travels at a faster speed the higher the elevation and will typically cause greater erosion.
Why does water have a different boiling point at elevation than at sea level?
Water boils at a lower temperature at higher elevations because the atmospheric pressure is lower. At higher elevations, the air is thinner, so there is less pressure pushing down on the water, causing it to boil at a lower temperature.
Which lake have a higher elevation or a lower elevation to dissolved mineral?
Higher elevation is going to also have higher atmospheric pressure. My recollection is that the higher pressure of the atmosphere on the surface of the lake will cause a higher level of absorption in the lake itself.
The boiling point of water in Nevada?
It depends where you are in Nevada. The boiling point will be lower in areas at a higher elevation.
What are pumped storage reservoirs?
The method stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.
Does gravity have a play in the river flow?
Yes - water flows from a higher elevation to a lower elevation. That's why a lot of rivers flow from South to North
What is meant by water taking the shortest route?
Water will always take the path of least resistance to flow from higher to lower elevation.
Does boiling point of water change as you move above sea level?
yes the boiling point changes with elevation. the higher the elevation the lower the boiling point.
What causes water to move from areas of higher elevation to areas of lower elevation?
That is caused by gravity.It can also be considered a special case of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Which direction does water always flow when it moves across land?
Water always flow from a higher elevation to a lower elevation.
Why does water boils at lower temperatures than in a valley?
Water boils at lower temperatures at higher altitudes because the atmospheric pressure is lower. In a valley, the air pressure is greater, which allows water to reach a higher temperature before boiling. At higher altitudes, where the air pressure is lower, the boiling point of water decreases.
