How do you calculate bedload size?
You cannot:)
What is the fine sediment transported within the body of flowing water?
a bedload
The amount of sediment that a river carries is its?
bedload
Why does the Bedload size become smaller and more rounded as you go downstream?
winky
What is river efficiency?
River efficiency is how easily a river can move water, sediment and bedload.
What has the author M A Carson written?
M. A. Carson has written: 'Bedload transport in gravel channels'
What is bedload in a river channel?
It is sediment transported by a river that becomes too heavy to be in suspension and thus sinks
How does the bedload change from source to mouth?
Do you remember the band BUSTED? Yh well pray that they get back together... Thanks :)
Does the rivers velocity affect the rivers bed load shape and size?
Faster river velocities are capable of carrying greater amounts of bedload and transporting them farther and faster. The shape of the sediments of the bedload would therefore be exposed to more physical weathering which would progressively round the sediments and also decrease their size.
Is the ocean the same depth everywhere?
No, it can be affected by things such as the bedload of the river and the width.
What has the author J Hardisty written?
J. Hardisty has written: 'The British seas' -- subject(s): Oceanography, Continental shelf 'The bedload spectrum' 'Beaches' -- subject(s): Mathematical models, Beaches, Baeches
Why why does bed load change as it goes downstream?
The size of the pebble will decrease down stream because the further downstream you go the quicker the river velocity. This means there will be more abrasion against the sides and bed of the river and the friction will be greater, this wears away the river load making it decrease in size. Increase velocity means that bigger material will be picked up by the river and carried as river load. More load in the river and increased size of load will mean more attrition and the river load will keep colliding into each other smoothening and rounding their shape. Brap brap !!
