What does the rate of stream discharge has to do with erosion and deposition?
rate of stream discharge is directly proportional to the erosion i.e the higher the velocity of the stream then it will erode the rock rapidly while the deposition process will be slow when the velocity will be high.
The lowest level to which a stream can erode its channel?
The base level
What is the major factor that determines a streams ability to erode land?
The major factor should be its speed. The higher its speed, the more force the stream will hit the bank and bed, making the land erode more easily.
How long does it take water erosion to erode bedrock?
Wind erosion is an ongoing process.
How can wind the erode materials?
Wind causes erosion by deflation and abrasion. Deflation is the process by which wind removes surface materials.
How does a stream base level affect how it downcuts it channel?
Streams can't erode their channels endlessly. there is a lower limit to how deep can a stream erode. Base level is the lowest point to which a stream can erode its channels.

Would raising the base level cause a stream to gain energy or erode?
Erode
How does a streams based level affect how it downcuts it's channel?
Streams can't erode their channels endlessly. there is a lower limit to how deep can a stream erode. Base level is the lowest point to which a stream can erode its channels.
What are three ways that streams erode their channels?
Stream erode their channels by abrasion, grinding, and by dissolving soluble material.
The lowest level to which a stream can erode its channel?
The base level
How does gravity relate to a stream and ability to erode and deposit materials?
You
The ability of a stream to erode and transport material depends largely on its?
Velocity
The ability of a stream to erode and transport material depends largely on what?
velocity
What determines whether a stream will erode its bottom or its sides?
it erodes on its bottom
How is gravity related to stream's ability to erode and deposit materials?
by wind
How does gravity relate to a stream's ability to erode and deposit materials?
The gradient of a stream effects the energy as it has eroding soil and rock. This happens because depending on the pressure of the water flow, it can erode soil and rock.
