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.

32. Volcanoes consist of A. leaves, stems B. lava flows, pyroclasts C. joints, branches D. faults, holes E. folds, trees
Bingel [31]

The correct answer is B. Lava flows, pyroclasts.

Explanation

A volcano is a mountain or hill that has an opening through which gaseous, liquid or solid materials can escape from the interior of the Earth. At the top of this cone, there is a concave formation called crater or chimney. When activity occurs in a volcano it is because it is erupting. Also, when it is erupting, the molten rock that comes from the Earth's mantle, known as magma, comes out. Once the magma comes to the surface, it loses the gases it contains because it evaporates, and when it drains the slopes of the cone it is known as lava, which flows from the top of the volcano. Finally, the waste expelled by a volcano through its crater during an eruption is known as pyroclasts. So, the correct answer is B. Lava flows, pyroclasts.
