Explain how the shape of a river's stream bed can affect the river's speed and its power to cause erosion.

Explanation: The shape of a river's stream bed affects the speed and eroding power of a river by influencing the amount of friction between the water flowing through the river and the stream bed below. Friction is the force that opposes the motion of one surface as it moves across another surface. In a river, there is friction between the flowing water and the stream bed beneath it. Where a river is deep, less water comes into contact with the stream bed, so there is less friction. The reduced friction means there is less opposition to the water's motion, so the river flows at a greater speed and has more kinetic energy for erosion. On the other hand, where a river is shallow, more water comes into contact with the stream bed, so there is more friction. The increased friction means there is more opposition to the water's motion, so the river flows at a lesser speed and has less kinetic energy for erosion. Also, the roughness of a stream bed covered with boulders and other obstacles causes the water to flow through the river in a turbulent fashion. This could cause the river to move slower in some cases or erode more in other cases.

Answer:

It changes the amount of friction there is. There is more friction where water is shallow, and less friction where water is not as shallow. The friction has the power to cause erosion as it causes movement of water.

Read the passage from Darwin's journal. sorry its so long


The Amblyrhynchus, a remarkable genus of , is confined to this archipelago; there are two species, resembling each other in general form, one being terrestrial and the other aquatic. This latter species (A. cristatus) was first characterized . . . from its short, broad head, and strong claws of equal length, that its habits of life would turn out very peculiar, and different from those of its nearest ally, the iguana. It is extremely common on all the islands throughout the group, and lives exclusively on the rocky sea-beaches, being never found . . . even ten yards in-shore. It is a hideous-looking creature of a dirty black colour, stupid, and sluggish in its movements. The usual length of a full-grown one is about a yard, but there are some even four feet long; a large one weighed twenty pounds: on the island of Albemarle, they seem to grow to a greater size than elsewhere. Their tails are flattened sideways, and all four feet partially webbed. They are occasionally seen some hundred yards from the shore, swimming about; and Captain Collnett, in his voyage says, “They go to sea in herds a-fishing, and sun themselves on the rocks; and may be called alligators in miniature.” It must not, however, be supposed that they live on fish. When in the water, this lizard swims with perfect ease and quickness, by a serpentine movement of its body and flattened tail—the legs being motionless and closely collapsed on its sides. A seaman on board sank one with a heavy weight attached to it, thinking thus to kill it directly, but when an hour afterwards, he drew up the line, it was quite active. Their limbs and strong claws are admirably adapted for crawling over the rugged and fissured masses of lava, which everywhere from the coast. In such situations, a group of six or seven of these hideous reptiles may oftentimes be seen on the black rocks, a few feet above the surf, basking in the sun with outstretched legs.




What structural adaptation does the A. cristatus lizard have to help them climb rocks?

Awnsers:

A.strong claws

B.black color


C.flattened tail


D.webbed feet
