MATH 210 Chapter : Section 3 6 Overview Of Curve Sketching
Document Summary
Where in river is velocity and where is turbulence. Suspended (highest ranking (carries most)) can be measured. Dissolve (second highest ranking (second carries most) can be measured. Pattern that we would find in basin of streams. Streams going in several directions perpendicular to each other. Find natural levy when river floods and drops sediment. When river goes down to lower level in flood plain, terrace is left over. Deltas and fans (stream out of mountain) (they both occur when velocity is down) Need water, limestone (to be jointed), and vegetations. Eastern united states is where all folded appalachian. Western united states is where all faults are (mountains are lifted or dropped down like rockies) Barcan half moon shaped with horns that point downward (wind in one direction) Types of sediment load: dissolved, suspended, bedload. Inner turbulence: friction with channel bed and banks, only 5% used in sediment transport. Competence- how big of a grain does a river transport.
