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.

What are some ways in which the Chang Jiang influences human system in China
Zinaida [17]
The flow of the Chang Jiang is some 20 times greater than that of the Huang He. As much of 40% of China's total grain production, 70% of rice output, and more than 40% of the population are associated with the Chang Jiang's vast basin that includes more than 3,000 tributaries. With its numerous tributaries, the Chang Jiang drains nearly 20% of China's total area. Its upper reaches tap the uplands of the Tibetan Plateau before sweeping across the enormous and agriculturally productive Sichuan Basin that supports nearly 10% of China's total population. It is in the middle course of the Chang Jiang that the controversial Three Gorges Dam is being constructed.
