Why does the greatest erosion and transportation of sediment by a stream occur during a flood?

Geography
1 answer:
ArbitrLikvidat [17]3 years ago
4 0

When a flood occurs, the stream is getting much more water, and on the parts where the angle of fall is greater and the stream is faster, because of the greater amount of water, and thus force, it managed to take with it much bigger amount of sediments, and also much bigger pieces of it.

The transportation depends on the speed and force of the water, and when there is a flood. both of those are bigger, so the stream is able to carry more sediments over a longer distance, but also over a wider area as the waters are getting out of the normal river flow and flood the valley.

Where did the earths surface water come from?​
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two dominant theories:

The inside-out model proposes that the Earth formed with trace amounts of water structurally bonded to the minerals in the mantle. This water makes its way to the Earth’s surface through volcanic processes.  

The outside-in model proposes that the Earth formed without water, which came with other volatiles from the meteorites or comets that bombarded the young planet. This water was probably mixed into the upper layers of the Earth and was later brought to the surface through volcanism.

If there were only 100 people on the Earth,how much money would you earn,the language that would be popular and the percent of w
VikaD [51]
The questions about language and religion depend a lot on where the 100 people are (assuming all of them are in the same place). In terms of money, 25 people would be really rich, 50 people would be middle income, and 25 people would be really poor( I'd probably be a middle income person). The specific amount of money would depend on the time period. Since there are only 100 people, at least 90% of them would have the same religion. Also, the chances of war and conflict are really low, because everyone would know each other.(Sorry my answer is so long)
