What are tiny grooves in the soil made by flowing water called?
rills
What is an axle spline?
Splines are parallel grooves on the side of a shaft that engage with matching grooves in a socket. They allow power to be transmitted between two rotating elements. Splines are used on axles to allow them to be removed and replaced.

hydraulic car lift and hydraulic tire changer
What you need to change a tire?
To change an actual tire you need a tire machine to get it off the rim and the new one on. -If you mean the change the WHEEL and tire on a car, then you just need a jack and a tire wrench.
U-shaped valleys and parallel grooves in bedrock are characteristics of erosion by?
glacial ice
What are grooves on a tire called?
They are called treads.What are the grooves on a tire called?Sipe...plural sipes
Are grooves in a tier called profile?
No the grooves are the tread, the profile is the height of the tire from the rim measured in percentage of tire width.
What is the reason for tire grooves?
Tire grooves channel and disperse the water on wet roads. If it weren't for grooves, your tires would be 'aquaplaning' on every patch of water, and not gripping the surface.
What are the grooves on a tire called that rhymes with instead?
I think you are looking for "tread." Only the end of "Instead" rhymes with it, but it is what the grooves on a tire are called.
What are the grooves of a tire called?
tread, i think Sipe
What is the depth of tread on a tire?
It is the depth of the grooves in the tyre.
What is purpose of grooves on tire surface?
To disperse water and avoid hydroplaning.
What are tire wear bars?
When tires are made, the tread pattern has grooves in them. There are parts of the grooves that are not as deep as others. When the tire has worn down to that level, the tread has worn away to the point where they are no longer safe to drive on. The bars are clearly visible going across the tire.
How do I know when to change the tires on a car?
You should change tires when you look at the grooves and they are ground pretty smooth. You want grooves in your tire so that it has good traction. If you put a nickel in-between your grooves and it doesn't stick out, then your tires are still good.
Why do you need tread on tires?
The "tread" is the part of the tire that is supposed to touch the ground. A tire with no tread would be a tire that is not supposed to touch the ground. You may be wondering why tires have a pattern of grooves (a.k.a., voids) in the tread. They're for bad weather. The grooves allow rain, and (if they're wider) mud and snow to squelch out from under the tire so that the tread can come into contact with something solid on which to get a grip.
Why longitudinal grooves on bridges?
The grooves or "tining" placed on concrete bridge decks (surfaces) are created for for automobile tire traction when it rains and to help direct the water runoff. Typically the grooves are created in the transverse direction across the direction of automobile travel. More recently longitudinal grooves have gained favor because there is less noise generated when tires follow longitudinal grooves when compared to more noise generated when tires cross transverse grooves.
Why are grooves used in the tire of a vehicle?
They channel water away from the tyre surface - helping to maitain grip on wet roads.
