How do you calculate bedload size?
You cannot:)
What happens when the curves of a globe become straight lines on a map?
distortion of a size, shape, distance, or area occurs.
Can a shape be congruent if its the same shape but different in size?
No, that's called a similar shape, it has to be both same shape and size, Your Welcome.
What is a polygon that has the same shape and size?
Congruent Polygons are the same shape and size.
What is having the same size and shape?
Having the same size and shape means that you look the same height and size.
Why does the Bedload size become smaller and more rounded as you go downstream?
winky
Why does the size of the bedload decrease and its roundness increase as you travel downstream?
Well, honey, as you travel downstream, the bedload size decreases because the heavier, larger particles settle out first closer to the source. And as for the roundness increase, well, that's just nature's way of giving those rocks a nice little spa treatment as they bump and grind their way downstream, getting smoother and rounder with each mile. So, in a nutshell, it's all about physics and erosion doing their thang as the river does its own version of a rock makeover.

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.
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 !!
How do you find river bed-load?
To find river bedload, you can collect sediment samples from the river bed and analyze them in a laboratory. Another method is to use a sediment trap or gauge to measure the amount of sediment transported by the river over time. This can help determine the size and composition of the bedload in the river.
Why does load particle size decrease downstream?
Load particle size decreases downstream due to the transport capacity of the river being higher further downstream, allowing larger particles to settle out and be deposited. Smaller particles are able to remain in suspension and be carried further downstream before settling. Additionally, erosion and weathering of larger particles can lead to their breakdown into smaller particles over time.
Why does bed load decrease in size?
Bed load decreases in size due to attrition, which is the process of particles colliding with each other and breaking into smaller pieces as they are transported by water or wind. Over time, this continuous process of abrasion results in the reduction of particle size in the bed load.
What makes the size of the pebbles smaller downstream?
As pebbles are transported downstream by the flowing water, they collide with each other and with other debris, causing them to break into smaller fragments. This process is known as attrition and leads to the gradual decrease in pebble size as they travel downstream. Additionally, smaller pebbles are also more easily carried by the current, allowing them to be transported further downstream.
What happens when the curves of a globe become straight lines on a map?
distortion of a size, shape, distance, or area occurs.
Which graph best represents the relationship between a streams velocity and the size of the largest particles it can carry downstream?
A logarithmic graph would best represent the relationship between stream velocity and the size of particles it can carry downstream. As velocity increases, the stream can carry larger particles due to increased erosion and transport capacity. However, there will be a limit to the size of particles carried downstream as velocity continues to increase.
Does congruent mean having the same size and shape?
Yes, it does. A congruent shape has the same shape and size as another shape. A shape that is similar is the same shape, just a different size, like a proportion.
