How deep can a stream erode?
· The stream will erode down through its bed to achieve the base level of erosion throughout its course. If this base level is low, then the stream will rapidly cut through underlying strata and have a steep gradient, and if the base level is relatively high, then the stream will form a flood plain and meander. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream
How might lower base level affect stream erosion?
increases the vertical distance between the source and destination increasing energy.
