Ultimate base level?

The base level of a river or stream is the lowest point to which it can flow, often referred to as the 'mouth' of the river. For large rivers, sea level is usually the base level, but a large river or lake is likewise the base level for tributary streams. All rivers and streams erode toward sea level, which is also known as the "ultimate base level." If a river is dammed, a new base level (the level of the reservoir) replaces the ultimate base level. As a result, the stream's base level is raised. Consequently, this reduces the stream's velocity, leads to deposition, and a reduction of the gradient upstream from the reservoir. A rather rare exception can be seen in the Jordan River, for which the base level is the Dead Sea, 417 m below modern sea level.


How do you cut rafters with different plate heights?

If the plate height gets higher increase the depth of the birds mouth that sits on the plate. The birds mouth is the notch cut out of the rafter that allows it to sit flat on the top of the plate. If the plate is low then you will need to place a packer on top of the plate.


Why do few plants grow in the waters of a swift-flowing mountain stream?

Few plants grow in the waters of a swift-flowing stream because the water's movement makes it tough for the plants to attach to any surfaces. Often, plants are pushed to the tidal pools or the mouth of the streams.

How do the gradient and discharge of a stream change from its headwaters to its mouth?

The discharge for a single stream should not change much from the headwater to the mouth. The exceptions to the mouth would be if another stream joined the main stream, which would increase the discharge or if you loose a significant amount of water to infilitration, which would decrease the discharge. The gradient should be high at the headwaters and gradually decrease downstream where it should be low at the mouth. Of course differences in lithologies or secondary streams can change the gradient for a short distance, thought the overall profile should fit the expected model.

How do gradient and discharge change between a stream's headwaters and its mouth?

At the headwaters (in the mountains) the gradient is steep, then as the stream moves into the foothills and onto the plains on its way to the sea where it has its mouth, the gradient gets less and less steep.


Are bedrock channels more likely to be found near the head or near the mouth of a stream?

In their headwaters, where the gradient is steep, most rivers cut into bedrock. These streams typically transport course particles that actively abrade the bedrock channel.
