What type of gradient would a river have when it is actively eroding its stream bed?

Geography
1 answer:
GarryVolchara [31]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

High gradient

Explanation:

The river bed of a stream is eroded when the local water velocity at the river is high. This occurs when the river gradient is high (meaning it slopes steeply) usualy higher up the river close to the watershed. This is different from when the river has low gradient which results in low water speeds. In this case, sediments in the river settle and erosion mostly happen on the river banks.

DENIUS [597]

Air masses that form over <u>water</u> carry much more moisture due to evaporation.

<h3>Which air mass has the most moisture?</h3>
  • Maritime air masses, also known as ocean air masses, are more humid than continental air masses, which are air masses that originate over land.
  • The air mass's temperature, which varies depending on the latitude at where it formed, is indicated by the second component of the name.

<h3>Why do you suppose the air masses that develop over water are moist?</h3>
  • High air pressure is present in polar or cold air masses.
  • Unsurprisingly, whether an air mass arises over land or water affects its humidity.
  • Due to water evaporation across oceans, maritime air masses frequently have a humid climate.
