The Hjulstrom Curve Predicting velocity
The Hjulstrom Curve…….
Erosion, Transport & Deposition The Hjulstrom curve is used to estimate the velocity needed for erosion, transportation, and deposition Analysis: 1) A particle of sediment sized 10mm would be eroded by a river velocity of 500cm/sec TRUE / FALSE 2) A particle of sediment 10mm would be transported by a river velocity of 90cm/sec TRUE / FALSE 3) A particle of sediment 0.01 would be eroded by a river velocity of 10cm/sec TRUE / FALSE
