Suppose that the stream mentioned in question 3 developed extensive meanders so that its course was lengthened to 500 kilometers Calculate its new gradient How does meandering affect gradient?
To calculate the new gradient, we would need the change in elevation over the new 500 km length of the meandering stream. Meandering causes the stream to flow a longer distance within the same elevation drop, thereby decreasing the overall gradient of the stream. This results in the stream having a gentler slope compared to a straighter stream.
In a typical stream where the gradient in steep the discharge is?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge .?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
Stream gradient role on stream velocity?
Stream gradient, or the slope of the stream channel, affects stream velocity by influencing the speed at which water flows downstream. A steeper stream gradient typically results in a faster water flow velocity, as the force of gravity pulls water downhill more strongly. Conversely, a gentler stream gradient leads to slower water flow velocity.
What is the correct definition of stream gradient?
A stream gradient is the grade measure by the ratio of drop in elevation of a stream. It is expressed as feet per mile.
What is a channel of a stream?
Gradient
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is?
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
The vertical drop of a stream channel over a certain distance is called the?
The vertical drop of a stream channel over distance is known as the Gradient.
What is the steepness of a stream channel?
The steepness of a stream channel is typically measured by its gradient, which is the rate at which the elevation of the channel changes over a certain horizontal distance. The steeper the gradient, the faster the water will flow and the more erosive power the stream will have.
What is a stream slope called?
It is called the gradient.
