QUÉ SIGNIFICA RAPIDS EN INGLÉS

Rápido

Rapid

Los rápidos son secciones de un río donde el lecho del río tiene un gradiente relativamente empinado, causando un aumento en la velocidad del agua y la turbulencia. Rapids son características hidrológicas entre una carrera y una cascada. Los rápidos se caracterizan por el hecho de que el río se vuelve más superficial con algunas rocas expuestas por encima de la superficie de flujo. A medida que el agua fluye salpica sobre y alrededor de las rocas, las burbujas de aire se mezclan con ella y porciones de la superficie adquieren un color blanco, formando lo que se llama "aguas blancas". Los rápidos se producen cuando el material de lecho es altamente resistente al poder erosivo de la corriente en comparación con el lecho aguas abajo de los rápidos. Las corrientes muy jóvenes que fluyen a través de la roca sólida pueden ser rapids para mucho de su longitud. Los Rapids se clasifican en clases, generalmente de I a VI. Una clase 5 rápida puede clasificarse como clase 5.1-5.9. Mientras que los rápidos de clase I son fáciles de negociar y no requieren maniobras, los rápidos de clase VI representan una amenaza para la vida con poca o ninguna posibilidad de rescate.

Rapids are sections of a river where the river bed has a relatively steep gradient, causing an increase in water velocity and turbulence. Rapids are hydrological features between a run and a cascade. Rapids are characterised by the river becoming shallower with some rocks exposed above the flow surface. As flowing water splashes over and around the rocks, air bubbles become mixed in with it and portions of the surface acquire a white colour, forming what is called "whitewater". Rapids occur where the bed material is highly resistant to the erosive power of the stream in comparison with the bed downstream of the rapids. Very young streams flowing across solid rock may be rapids for much of their length. Rapids are categorized in classes, generally running from I to VI. A Class 5 rapid may be categorized as Class 5.1-5.9. While class I rapids are easy to negotiate and require no maneuvering, class VI rapids pose threat to life with little or no chance for rescue.

Sebastian Junger

I don't think people would climb mountains or jump off bridges with parachutes or kayak Class V rapids if those things didn't offer the brief and horrible illusion of imminent death. They would just be complicated, time-consuming endeavors that we'd steer well clear of because they got in the way of real life.

I remember how beautiful the Merrimac looked to me in childhood, the first true river I ever knew; it opened upon my sight and wound its way through my heart like a dream realized; its harebells, its rocks, and its rapids, are far more fixed in my memory than anything about the sea.
