tratto in cui un fiume scorre con maggior velocità e turbolenza

AI overview

Rapids are sections of a river where the riverbed slopes steeply, which causes the water to flow faster and become turbulent. They form when certain conditions exist together—including water flow, a steep gradient, a narrowing of the river channel, and obstacles in the water—making rapids important features that significantly affect how rivers behave.

La rapida è il tratto di un fiume il cui letto acquista pendenza in modo repentino, producendo un velocizzarsi del suo corso con onde e turbolenza. Essa è una via di mezzo fra una corrente tranquilla ed una cascata.
