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 three factors that affect the rate of stream erosion?
it is gradient, discharge and load.
How gradient afects a streams erosive energy?

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.
What factor is most likely to affect the amount of erosion done by a stream?
The slope or gradient of the stream is the most likely factor to affect the amount of erosion. Steeper slopes result in higher velocities, which in turn increase the erosive power of the stream. A steeper slope also allows the stream to carry larger sediment and potentially cause more erosion.

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.

Explain the processes of headward erosion and stream piracy?
Headward erosion is a fluvial process of erosion that lengthens a stream, a valley or a gully at its head and also enlarges its drainage basin. The stream erodes away at the rock and soil at its headwaters in the opposite direction that it flows. Once a stream has begun to cut back, the erosion is sped up by the steep gradient the water is flowing down. As water erodes a path from its headwaters to its mouth at a standing body of water, it tries to cut an ever-shallower path. This leads to increased erosion at the steepest parts, which is headward erosion. (wikipedia)When this happens, the erosion can break through into another stream and the water from the stream is diverted. So the stream is "stealing" the other stream's water.
How does runoff affect the rate of erosion?
As runnoff travels it forms tiny grooves and as a stream runs down erosion happens as the rocks get carried away. Poops
What factors affect the force of flowing water?
The moon and jet-stream do
What weathering and erosion would affect the piney woods ecoregion in Texas?
what weathering does is that weathering moves your soil or sediments and then when it hits a stream erosion happens and moves it down along the stream and then comes deposition and the sediment lands at a random spot.
What is the fastest form of erosion n?
stream erosion
There can be no stream erosion or glacial erosion without?
Wind
