| A River Study : Predictions |
| In this river study we are going to test the following predictions. Prediction 1 The river gets wider as you travel downstream. Prediction 2 The valley gets wider as you travel downstream Prediction 3 The cross-sectional area of the river increases as you travel downstream. Prediction 4 The velocity of the river increases as you travel downstream. Prediction 5 The gradient of a river decreases as you travel downstream. Prediction 6 The size of the bedload decreases and its roundness increases as you travel downstream. Hypotheses 2 and 3 could be combined to give, The discharge of a river increases as you travel downstream. or you could come up with your own |
