| Description: Running Water Factors that determine velocity Gradient or slope Channel characteristics Shape Size Roughness Discharge – volume of water flowing in the stream (generally expresses as cubic feet per second) Upstream-downstream changes Profile Cross-sectional view of a stream From head (source) to mouth Profile is a smooth curve Gradient decreases from the head to the mouth Factors that increase downstream Velocity Discharge Upstream-downstream changes Profile Factors that increase downstream Channel size Factors that decrease downstream Gradient or slope Channel roughness Picture Stats: Views: 253 Filesize: 148.24kB Height: 921 Width: 882 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=39468 |
