A mature stream causes more erosion than a young stream, due to the pure fact that theres more curve in a mature stream causing the sediments to shift more frequently.

What causes a mature stream to develope?
wind erosion
Does a mature stream cause little erosion?
Yes. As a stream gets older and older it's strength and speed reduces (like in humans). So, erosion is reduced.
Which most likely causes a stream to widen?
a stream is most likely widen by erosion
What causes stream and valley erosion?
i think its the farts in this world
What is load and how does it affect erosion?
Stream Load is the amount of material a stream can hold as it flows. As a stream flows it causes erosion, and this erosion is carried about as material in the stream. As too much is eroded, the extra material will fall to the bottom, or push it's way to the sides.
How does the gradient of a stream affect how much erosion it causes?
It is because if a stream gets bigger, it is allowed to carry more sediment. More sediment means more erosion.
A meander generally characterizes which type of stream steep stream a young stream a narrow stream or a mature stream?
A mature stream.
What is the fastest form of erosion n?
stream erosion
There can be no stream erosion or glacial erosion without?
Wind
What affects stream erosion?
There are three factors that affect stream erosion. These are water velocity, shape, size and depth of channel, and stream capacity to transport eroded materials.
What are the causes for stream bank erosion?
- Increased catchment runoff. - Removal of tree's and plant life. - Sedimentation - Flooding - Storms, Cylones etc.
How can a stream cause erosion?
Little sediments are carried by the eroding stream
