The highest gradient is an unusual 37 degrees.
You must have a very high visual gradient to have systematization.
The river crosses the fall line of North Carolina, an area where rivers are quite rocky and have a moderately high gradient.
With less relief, the river valleys are less pronounced, but still moderately high gradient.
These highland areas are characterized by streams with cool, clear water and a high gradient.
The slope gradient shall not exceed 25% except for short wide sections with a higher gradient.
Streams flowing off the escarpment have high gradients and a cobble substrate.
The high curvature produces a high potential gradient around one electrode.
The ability of the Transrapid system to handle tighter turns and higher gradients could heavily influence a cost comparison for a particular project.
Also because of its high gradient, there are several hydropower projects along the Moose's course.
