  2. Driving factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_factors

    In energy monitoring and targeting, a driving factor is something recurrent and measurable whose variation explains variation in energy consumption. The term independent variable is sometimes used as a synonym. One of the most common driving factors is the weather, expressed usually as heating or cooling degree days. In energy-intensive ...

  4. Freshwater ecosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshwater_ecosystem

    Freshwater habitats can be classified by different factors, including temperature, light penetration, nutrients, and vegetation. There are three basic types of freshwater ecosystems: lentic (slow moving water, including pools , ponds , and lakess ), lotic (faster moving streams , for example creeks and rivers ) and wetlands ( semi-aquatic areas ...

  5. River ecosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_ecosystem

    The "flow regime" of a river or stream includes the general patterns of discharge over annual or decadal time scales, and may capture seasonal changes in flow. [7] [8] While water flow is strongly determined by slope, flowing waters can alter the general shape or direction of the stream bed, a characteristic also known as geomorphology. The ...

  6. Streamflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamflow

    Rivers even help keep the aquifers underground full of water by discharging water downward through their streambeds. In addition to that, the oceans stay full of water because rivers and runoff continually refreshes them. [1] Streamflow is the main mechanism by which water moves from the land to the oceans or to basins of interior drainage.

  7. River incision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_incision

    Incised stream in the Ecuadorian Andes in Cayambe Canton. River incision is the narrow erosion caused by a river or stream that is far from its base level. River incision is common after tectonic uplift of the landscape. Incision by multiple rivers result in a dissected landscape, for example a dissected plateau. River incision is the natural ...

  8. Vehicle dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_dynamics

    Vehicle dynamics is the study of vehicle motion, e.g., how a vehicle's forward movement changes in response to driver inputs, propulsion system outputs, ambient conditions, air/surface/water conditions, etc. Vehicle dynamics is a part of engineering primarily based on classical mechanics.
