What is the difference between the mouth and source of a river?
931239
They are the opposite ends of the river--the mouth is where the river empties into another body of water; the source is the headwaters, or the little streams that feed into the river. The outlet is the same as the mouth.

In the steady state, water flows out of the aqueduct, leaving the force on the floor&walls unchanged. However, then the barge is first introduced, the displaced water flows as a wave, causing greater forces near the wave-front.

The water is more pure and clean without dirt and air pockets.  Standing water is more likely to have foreign particles in it which makes it impure.

I would think that the river level is mesaured in metres from the river bed. Thne they can accurately say this river peaked at 9 metres. Hope that helps

A river it also has 2 banks but doesn't save , and it has branches but has no leaves , sometimes it has a fork but dosen't eat with it

figure the bottom, the top gets fed more water as it flows down river by rain, the bottom gets its water from runoff - the effect of the rain up-stream.

Type in Mississippi River on your yahoo search bar and it will bring up several places to search. The one that says Mississippi River is a good one it tell where the river starts and ends. Also tell how long it is ect. Lots of Info there. See for yourself biology.usgs.gov/s+t/SNT/noframe/ms137.htm

an ecosystem and biome are different in that a biome is the combination of different ecosystem's that will work together...\n\nLook at it this way, an ecosystem is more like a food chain, where as a biome is more like a food web...\n\nan ecosystem maybe be a river, but a biome will be the whole forest with a few rivers, maybe a swamp area, and other things...   \n\n:)

I don't think there is a minimum.  If it is a river it is implied that the water flows.  Ecosystems develop depending on what conditions exist.

Deltas and Estuaries are created at the mouths of rivers.\nAnother landform that is created close to the mouth of a river is an ox bow lake.

Unless the land it totally flat, rivers of water run downhill. The vast percentage of rivers on the planet flow in a southerly direction because the source (usually in the mountains) is to the north of the mouth. \nIf the source of a river is at a higher elevation than the mouth, that river will run from the source to the mouth. However, if that (higher) source is to the south of the mouth, that river will then flow to the north (downhill).

First spelling... W H A T\n\nNext, your answer.  They are areas of deposition at the outlet or leveling area of a river called the flood plain.

Rivers & streams are parts of drainage basins (aka watersheds). This means that they drain most of the surface water from an area.\n\nWhen it rains very heavily, it runs off & goes into the rivers & streams b/c they are lower in elevation. This is called surface runoff.\n\nRivers are only capable of handling a certain amount of water at a time. When it reaches flood stage it will overflow it's banks.\n\nAlthough it is possible for a lake to flood, more than likely it will not. It is less likely to get all the surface runoff from the surrounding area.\n\nOceans are not going to flood unless sea level rises. There is no real "normal" flood stage for oceans. Over time they transgress & regress in response to climate change. Water is constantly being evaporated from the oceans as well.\n\nMost of our precipitation comes from water vapor that was evaporated from the oceans. This is simply b/c oceans cover the majority of the planet.\n\nHope this helps.

River morphology (shape) is controlled by a number of characteristics. River channels can be broken into three types, straight rivers, single channel meandering rivers, and braided rivers (multi-channel). The amount and size of the sediment the river carries, the slope of the river channel, and the amount of water in the river determine the shape of the river channel. \n\nStraight rivers tend to have the lowest sediment load and the lowest slope. Meandering rivers have slightly more slope, and much more sediment load, and braided rivers have both the highest slopes and greatest sediment loads. \n\nRiver channels in cross section often have a cup-like  shape with the deepest portion, known as the thalweg, found on one side or the other. This thalweg has the highest flow velocity and because it flows faster it can cut into the bank it is closest to, while the shallow part of the river slows down and drops sediment. This action causes both meandering rivers and braided rivers to move their channels from side to side in a valley over time. Straight channel rivers also have thalwegs that move but the effect is much less. \n\nAs rivers go from mountainous terrain to nearly flat valleys they change from braided streams and rivers to meandering rivers. As they approach sea level they form deltas where the flow often separates into separate branching channels. A great deal of the sediment load of the river is deposited on the delta, and as the river flows into the ocean it builds the delta outward. Rivers like the Mississippi have built deltas far out into the ocean with sediment piles that are several miles deep.

It is not true statement:One river in China actually goes up stream,instead of downstream.!!!\nlooba
